[PCA] SURVEY: Redbud Phenology Project

[Park, Margaret E]

Eastern redbuds are iconic spring bloomers, but mystery remains about the timing of their flowering and fruiting. The Redbud Phenology Project<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usanpn.org%2Fnn%2Fredbud&data=04%7C01%7Cmargaret_park%40fws.gov%7C9df2c89077a449861a5f08d9ebccbb7f%7C0693b5ba4b184d7b9341f32f400a5494%7C0%7C0%7C637800086833935304%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=6pcytsDiAub9ETNQbyVoK5si%2FI2kGDC1ehDKR1CkHlA%3D&reserved=0> seeks to answer questions such as:

1. Does the timing of redbud flowering vary by location or elevation?

2. Is there a cycle to abundant years of redbud fruiting?

3. Are redbuds flowering and fruiting earlier in the year?



By signing up as a Nature's Notebook observer and tracking the seasonal activity of an eastern redbud tree where you live, you will collect important information to help scientists answer these questions!

Watch a recording of our virtual info session and training where we explain the significance of this project, walk you through the steps of creating a Nature's Notebook account and registering a redbud tree, and describe how to make observations and submit them online.
