This spring, Berks Nature is joining the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) to track the spring wildflower bloom along the Kittatinny Ridge/Blue Mountain as part of a community science project studying climate change. Volunteers will be needed throughout April and May! We will be using the phone app iNaturalist to track bloom times.  No experience with iNaturalist or existing knowledge of flower species required.

See this YouTube webinar about the project.

More background information can be found on AMC’s website and in the flyers, below:
