Just in time for the new school year is Journey North, a website that uses the help of students from K-12 to track the migrations of various species, as well as when certain plants first appear after the winter snow melts away. This is a useful all year activity since it tracks when species head south as well as north.
Anyone is free to use the site to check out what’s been posted but if you want to contribute observations, you have to register.
(This is a great little site from a technology point of view. It would be simple enough (but not as cheap) to phone in oberservations and mail out regular updates to the registered classes. Adding in the Internet doesn’t change what’s happening but makes this project that much more effective.)
