What’s happening?
Teaneck Creek Conservancy is teaming up with local biologists to document what plants are growing in our park’s restoration areas. This is the second year of our data collection and we’ll be revisiting the same spots to see what’s changed. This project helps us see how biodiversity at the park changes over time.
How can I help?
We’re looking for volunteers (age 14+) to be scientists for a day and help our science team collect as much data as possible. Volunteer activities include:
1) helping the scientists make observations and take notes at each plot;
2) bringing plant samples and other supplies to and from the plot to the plant identification station;
3) identifying plants in the plots or at the identification station; and
4) talking to visitors who might have questions about what’s going on (additional info about the activities will be provided).
When is this happening? Our science team will be surveying plants on Saturday June 15 from 8 am to 4 pm (Rain date June 29). There will be several 2-hour volunteer time slots over the course of the day.
