Durant Nature Preserve Program: Wildflowers
Join NCBP member Tracy Feldman at Durant Nature Preserve in Raleigh for a spring ephemeral walk.
Description: Wildflowers called spring ephemerals put on a stunning display in early spring, then they all but disappear from the woods for the rest of the year. We'll explore why plants might do this, and we'll walk around and enjoy the display. Bring a warm coat! Children must be accompanied by adults. Pre-registration is required.

Using citizen science to bridge taxonomic discovery with education and outreach
Using citizen science to bridge taxonomic discovery with education and outreach
Biological collections are uniquely poised to inform the stewardship of life on Earth in a time of cataclysmic biodiversity loss. Efforts to fully leverage collections are impeded by a lack of trained taxonomists and a lack of interest and engagement by the public. We provide a model of a crowd‐sourced data collection project that produces quality taxonomic data sets and empowers citizen scientists through real contributions to science. Entitled MicroPlants, the project is a collaboration between taxonomists, citizen science experts, and teachers and students from universities and K–12.
