For complete information, download the Steps to Getting Started.
1) Select and identify your plant using the plant list or by geographic area. (For help use our Identification Guides.)
2) Describe the site where your plant is located. This includes finding the latitude and longitude of your site.
3) Determine the phenophases (phenological stage) you are looking for (i.e. First Leaf, First Flower, First Fruit Ripe). For help use our Phenophase Field Guides.
4) Begin observations (before expected time of leafing 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 phenophases as they occur each week!
