March Citizen science!
March 2025 Citizen Science
We are going to continue our efforts of sharing citizen science projects as we come across them. With the citizen science projects list, we will try to share fun eco, 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! 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!!!
