The Signs of the Seasons citizen science project is a statewide initiative aimed at identifying and documenting cyclical and seasonal changes in more than 20 indicator species crucial for understanding Maine’s changing climate. Milkweed, butterflies, and loons are some of the species included in this project.
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension and Maine Sea Grant are hosting a series of workshops next week to train individuals interested in participating in the project. The first training session will take place on April 4, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Stimpson’s Point in Brunswick. In Falmouth, training will begin on April 5, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Gilsland Farm Audubon Center.
Those unable to attend in person can participate in a 3-part webinar that will be available. All workshops are free of charge but mandatory registration is required. To learn more about the project and register, visit extension.umaine.edu/signs-of-the-seasons/training
