UNDERSTAND HOW SPECIES AND LANDSCAPES ARE
RESPONDING TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
Primary goal• Create a standardized, long-term
dataset for use in multiple types of research.
Mission• Make phenology data, models
and related information available.
• Encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to observe and record phenology.

One or more open, fresh flowers are visible on the plant. Flowers are considered "open" when the reproductive parts (male stamens or female pistils) are visible between or within unfolded or open flower parts (petals, floral tubes or sepals). Do not include wilted or dried flowers.
Do you see…open flowers?
