Looking for Volunteers for Citizen Scientist project

Many of you read the pieces I posted on pollinators this year.at 7:36 I am pumped after an inaugural meeting yesterday of our Pollinator Project. We gathered at Prescott House in Starrs Point, Kings County to discuss the fledging project. Dr. Ann Fraser of Kalamazoo College provided her knowledge on this type of monitoring activity. We have chosen three Nova Scotia Museum sites: Prescott House, Fishermans' Life Museum and Haliburton House to pilot and perfect our data collection. 

If you live near Wolfville, Windsor or Oyster Ponds, Nova Scotia staff would like you to consider joining us as volunteer pollinator observers. The time commitment is only 2 hours twice a month, at most, from April to October.

We provide all training and reading materials. You provide a willingness to learn and to contribute your observations to a North American-wide initiative to record images and data on our native bees using Citizen Scientists.

Your duties can begin in the remaining weeks of 2015, or for the growing season of 2016. Please contact me here by expressing your interest, or email me: Marian.Munro@novascotia.ca
