We have now created phenology sites at multiple different locations along the PCT in Inyo National Forest and Yosemite National Park as well as in North Cascades National Park. We need your help to survey these sites as you hike! Please follow the quick start guide below, and head to our Resources page for more detailed instructions.

Other Citizen Science Opportunities
Do you want to participate in phenology observations, but are not hiking the PCT this year? That is great! The USA National Phenology Network has many opportunities to survey phenology in your own backyard.
Are you located close to Mt. Rainier National Park? Then, perhaps MeadoWatch is for you! MeadoWatch surveys phenology for a number of important wildflowers in Mt. Ranier National Park.
Are you hiking the Appalacian Trail this year instead of the Pacific Crest Trail? USA-National Phenology Network also partners with A.T. Seasons program to survey phenology for important species along this trail.
Happy Trails!
