Everyone is invited to help gather information about wildlife in Fort Collins as a Community Science Biodiversity Project volunteer this spring and summer. It’s a great way to get outside and enjoy the city’s natural spaces as volunteers will be looking for birds, butterflies and bees. This important scientific data will increase understanding of “a connected open space network accessible to the entire community that provides a variety of experiences and functional habitat for people, plants and animals” as called for in the Nature in the City Strategic Plan. Free, no previous experience is necessary. Training will be Tuesday, May 18th for birds and butterflies, plus a 30 minutes session in the field on Friday, May 21 and Saturday, May 22 (between a.m.-noon) for birds. Butterfly field training will occur in July (date TBD). Surveys will be done over the summer. Volunteers must be 18 or older (children can accompany adult volunteers), and must commit to the two-hour training session and to completing six surveys. The Community Science Biodiversity Project is sponsored by City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department’s Nature in the City Program. This training will be done virtually. We will send out the meeting links to those who sign up.
