Welcome to Nature's Notebook


Greetings!

I would like to personally welcome you to Nature's Notebook! You've just taken your first step toward deepening your connection with nature, learning about phenology, and contributing to scientific discovery. To get started, check out the helpful support materials described below, and learn about how phenology touches nearly every aspect of our lives.

For some added inspiration, watch our five-minute video on why observing with Nature's Notebook can make a real difference in understanding changes in plants and animals.

Due to the current situation with COVID-19, please follow the social distancing guidelines for your area before making any observations. We are grateful if you are able to safely collect data on the plants and animals you track through Nature's Notebook, but always put the health and safety of yourself and your community first.
 
Sincerely,

Why is Phenology Important?
Phenology is a key component of life on earth

It's also a leading indicator of climate change impacts.

Your observations are very valuable. Researchers, resource managers, educators, and others use observations to improve our understanding of:
  • Proliferation of disease, such as Lyme disease and dengue fever
  • The timing and strength of allergy season
  • When farmers should plant to avoid frosts
  • Food availability to consumers (and its prices)
  • Disasters such as wildfires, drought and flooding
  • Change in species interactions, such as increasing mismatches in the timing of pollinators and their host plants
