Follow these 5 simple steps to complete your phenological investigation!
For complete information, download the Project BudBurst Activity Guide.
1) Select and identify your plant using the plant list or by geographic area.
2) Describe the site where your plant is located. This includes finding the latitude and longitude of your site.
3) Determine which phenophase (phenological stage) you are looking for (i.e. Budburst/First Leaf, First Flower). For help, refer to the plant descriptions found in the plant list.
4) Begin observations (before expected time of budding or flowering)!
5) Report your observations online.
Register online with Project BudBurst to save your observation sites and plants that you are monitoring throughout this year and for coming years. This allows you to report the phenological events as they occur each week!
