Cking almost 9 years ago Our MUVE citizen scientists are collecting water quality data in both a freshwater wetland and the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, they are collecting habitat use data from birds, butterflies and reptiles, as well as vegetation health data in the restored area. In order to participate, interested volunteers can email me at: cking@frostscience.org. Tools vary with the type of data collection, but as can be as little as a data sheet and a pencil!

Ladams almost 9 years ago MUVE - that sounds like a great community science project. Can you please give us some more info about what types of biological and environmental data your volunteers are collecting? Thanks for posting!
