Tree “Buds” Weekly Tree Phenology Walks

Be our tree buds and join our weekly citizen science walk to observe and collect data on seasonal changes in trees.

Rain or shine, we will monitor when buds break, leaves emerge, flowers bloom, fruits ripen, and when leaves change color and fall. We send the data to the USA National Phenology Network, which makes it available to researchers who are trying to understand the mechanisms behind seasonal changes and how they are influenced by a changing climate.

You’ll learn how to make these types of observations, and how to do this at home or in your neighborhood.

This event is free and everyone is welcome to attend. We'll meet in front of the Cayuga Nature Center lodge at the beginning of the program.
