Project BudBurst

Project BudBurst participants make careful observations of the timing of leafing, flowering, and fruiting phases of plants (plant phenophases) throughout the year. Monitoring spring, summer, fall, and winter plant phases provides valuable information. Project BudBurst has two research protocols that you can follow to record your observations. Scientists and educators can use the data to learn more about how plant species respond to changes in climate locally, regionally, and nationally. (Content modified from Project BudBurst website).
