The observation of seasonal changes including the blooming of flowers, appearance of migratory birds, insects hatching, and animals coming out of hibernation. WHY is it important? Phenological events are very sensitive to changes in our environment including climate change. By monitoring key species we can observe the impact that environmental change has on our natural resources. HOW can I help? By recording and reporting various observations of the above species and sharing photographs you will be helping to advance an important scientific project in the state. Please send your observations by e-mailing Diane Husic, Audubon TogetherGreen Fellow @ phenology@lgnc.org.
