Citizen Scientists: Making a World of Difference

Almost anyone can be a scientist and help protect our planet. And you can do it in your own backyards. Whether your passion is watching hawks, catching butterflies, taking pictures, pulling weeds, or chasing bugs, you can be a citizen scientist and make a difference in protecting our environment.

With the help of US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Making a Visible Difference in Communities Initiative and their Technical Assistance Services for Communities program, several non-profit environmental organizations, Town of Brattleboro, and Vermont Watershed Management Division came together to sponsor a Citizen Science Workshop at the Rivergarden in Brattleboro on April 9th, 2016.
