Community Science, also known as citizen science, involves the participation of volunteers from any background in scientific research. Community members assist scientists by collecting data, analyzing results, and contributing to valuable scientific knowledge. Most of our projects are related to understanding how our local mountain landscapes are changing over time and as a result of climate change. Contact nature@walkingmountains.org to learn more about any current Community Science volunteer opportunities.
