Try your hand at Citizen Science - David Moon, Sanctuary Director at Joppa Flats

March 27, 7pm - Garden Room

David Moon, Sanctuary Director of Mass Audubon's Joppa Flats Education Center in Newburyport. Many people love the idea of being a "citizen scientist". Helping to answer interesting scientific questions, assisting with conservation, and having hands-on experiences with nature informed by real scientific inquiry is a compelling combination for children and adults alike. But what is Citizen Science, and how does one get involved? David will share opportunities for getting outdoors as a citizen scientist both with Mass Audubon and with other conservation organizations. There is a very wide range of opportunities for people of all levels of skill and training to get out and study nature

Through the years, the hardy men and women of the Observatory on Mt Washington have experienced white-out blizzards, stunning 110-mile vistas, and everything in between. They have survived a 231mph wind gust, endless days of disorienting fog, and snow drifts more than 20 feet tall. They have worked with scientists and celebrities, students and snow rangers. They have amassed one of North America's longest continuous climate records, and developed an intimate understanding of the place known as the "Home of the World's Worst Weather."
