At Everyday Environment, we enjoy noticing everyday observations of cool things in nature, many of which can be found in backyards and local parks. These everyday observations can be used to help scientists better understand the climate, species phenology, and more. Explore how everyone can help by getting involved in community science projects, such as iNaturalist, eBird, Budburst, and CoCoRaHS.
