participatory science projects
Participatory science projects allow TownGreen supporters to get out in the field and make a significant contribution by collecting data and monitoring the health of our ecosystems.
Participatory science projects will monitor the marsh near Wingaersheek Beach and annual king tides onCape Ann.
It’s all about the science
As a participatory scientist, you’ll be trained on safety, how to collect data, how to record quality data, and how to submit your reports. Your efforts will result in gathering data that can be used to assess the impacts of climate change on the marshes as well as in decision-making.
