Community Science Projects [F-26-12]

"Community science (sometimes referred to as "participatory science" or "citizen science") is a form of research that provides everyone, regardless of their background, an opportunity to contribute meaningful data to further our scientific understanding of key issues. By engaging community members, researchers can collect a larger amount of data, and can often span more geographic regions, in a shorter amount of time. In turn, data collected informs larger conservation efforts." -- Xerces Society.
