For the identification of plants and animals you will need access to special
books called field guides, which may be present in
your local library. Binoculars and magnifying glasses are helpful and it is fun to use for organizing life-cycle
information on a computer, but these items are not absolutely necessary.
WHO MAY PARTICIPATE:
Anyone, anyplace.
WHAT WE PROVIDE:
- many online pages detailing nature-study
basics
- an online forum for posting lists
of plants and animals you identify locally
- an
for posting life-cycle information -- when migratory birds pass through your
area, when flowers blossom, when frogs mate, etc.
- a mail-list where participants in this program can
discuss all aspects of the project, especially some of the neat things being learned and
experienced.

None
