Nature’s Notebook
Nature's Notebook is a science-based platform developed by the USA National Phenology Network that encourages individuals to track seasonal changes in plants and wildlife.
Participants submit data on the timing of biological events—like budburst, bird migrations, or insect activity—which is then used by scientists studying climate change, ecosystems, and land management.
Unlike instant-ID apps, Nature’s Notebook promotes long-term observational skills, pattern tracking, and environmental data literacy, making it a sophisticated tool for users deeply engaged in ecological monitoring or nature-based learning programs.
