Is Spring Here Yet?

This spring, people across the nation will join us in collecting important 
climate change data on the timing of leafing and flowering of trees and 
flowers through Project BudBurst!  This national citizen science field 
campaign targets native tree and flower species across the country.  By 
recording the timing of the leafing and flowering of native species each 
year, scientists can learn about the prevailing climatic characteristics 
in a region over time.  With your help, we will be compiling valuable 
environmental information that can be compared to historical records to 
illustrate the effects of climate change.

Project BudBurst is ideal for teachers and students, families interested 
in participating in a science project, scouts and 4-H groups, gardening 
clubs, botanical gardens..anyone or any group with an interest in 
contributing to a socially and scientifically relevant research study. 
You.ll find all the information you need to participate in Project 
BudBurst at www.budburst.org.  So join us this spring (April through June) 
and be part of the Project BudBurst community!


Project Budburst is a collaborative effort of the Chicago Botanic Garden, 
ESRI, National Science Foundation, National Phenology Network, UCAR Office 
of Education and Outreach, University of Arizona, University of Montana, 
University of California . Santa Barbara, and Windows to the Universe. 
U.S. Bureau of Land Management provided funding for the spring 2007 event.
