Many people give their time and love of nature to gather vital data for the parks system.

Whether these Citizen Scientists are listening for specific types of frog calls, counting aquatic organisms in streams or waterways, or pouring over thousands of camera images to spot screech owls and hummingbirds, these folks are a vital part of helping park staff keep track of critical indicators of ecological well-being.
