Citizen Science

Citizen science is science for everyone!

Citizen science volunteers help conduct scientific research, from design experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and solving problems, to help professional scientists and resource managers answer scientific questions and solve important problems. Activities help participants build meaningful connections to science.

Anyone can be a citizen scientist, regardless of where they’re from. It doesn't matter how old you are or what your background is. All it takes is some time, curiosity, and a sense of wonder.
