Is a national citizen science field campaign focused on plant phenology
Engages the public in the collection of data about the timing of leafing, flowering, and fruiting of plants
Local focus through partnerships
Primary goal: Phenology education and outreach to a broad audience
Secondary goal: Useful scientific data
Entirely online
Data freely available to all
Contributory (data collection project)

Began at the University Center for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) in 2007
Moved to NEON, Inc. in 2010 to serve as the pilot citizen science program
Now past pilot stage and fully integrated into NEON Education and Outreach
