Western Lake Superior Region Citizen Science Survey
The newly formed Lake Superior Regional Citizen Science Collaborative (LSRCSC) seeks to identify citizen science efforts and opportunities in the Western Lake Superior Region (current focus is NE Minnesota and NW Wisconsin). Through the collaborative we seek to create an opportunity for communication and collaboration among researchers, educators and volunteers who want to engage in citizen science in our region. Please take 10 minutes to complete the following survey. We thank you in advance for your time. This project is funded by a University of Minnesota Serendipity Grant. Direct questions or concerns about survey to: Ryan Hueffmeier,
