[Pollinator] FW: National Phenology Network

[Jim Cane]

Folks- another place to participate in a nationwide assessment of
changes in seasons is this one (below).  Hunt their site for the maps
with isoclines that link together sites with the same progression so
spring, drawn from 100's of reporting stations over a 30-year period.  I
found it amazing 9and am awaiting bud break on our lilac clones).

Dear Jim:

Thanks for your interest in participating in the USA National Phenology
Network (USA-NPN).  Another critical part of the USA-NPN is observations
on native plants in your area.  Please review the list of suggested
appropriate plants for your area and report data on as many of them as
possible.
You should find the descriptions of the events to observe, some images
(we are still building our image library), and the links to submit your
data all on the USA-NPN web site (see selected links below). With kind
regards,

Mark D. Schwartz
