Citizen Science Post April 2025!
Below is a list of citizen science projects and we trying to share fun eco-minded, family friendly events too! Citizen science is a form of data collection that the public (of all ages) can participate in. It usually involves the collection of data and recording it or entering it into a database for different organizations. A list of citizen science projects will be listed & linked below!
Spring is SPRINGING. This is an incredible time for migration of several species and if you are looking to get involved with a local bird banding station please check out Sullivans Island Bird Banding Station! https://www.facebook.com/sullivansislandbirds Sarah is always looking for volunteers and is an excellent teacher.
South Carolina DNR asks for diamondback terrapin sightings to be reported. In addition to birds, reptiles like these turtles will be basking or on the move during warm, sunny spring days. If you’d like to learn more about them or report a sighting click this link here!!!
We know it is a month early but we would like to promote this event by the LENS IOP Foundation that we will also be attending!!! Check out this link for this awesome Island Block Party!!!
May 12th IOP Block Party!
