SkillSwap: Becoming A Nature Nerd through Citizen Science
SkillSwap is a barter-based education series featuring workshops on a variety of topics. There is no monetary registration fee; instead, each instructor suggests items or services they will accept in exchange for class participation.
Our volunteer instructors prepare based on how many people sign up, so PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP IF YOU WILL ACTUALLY ATTEND.
Class Description
Interested in studying nature, feeling more connected to your surroundings, helping the natural environment, but not sure where to start? Join us on a powerpoint tour through the instructors favorite citizen science platforms that apply to our region. Just through being observant on a daily walk, you can submit meaningful data to scientists who will use your data to take meaningful conservation steps! Well show you how! Its easy!
