Pollinator Citizen Science Project Training & Online Quiz
March 22, 2021
This project started as a collaboration between research and extension personnel at Texas A&M University, Tarleton State University, Texas Tech University, and Oklahoma State University. We were frequently asked by master gardeners, landscapers, and homeowners what plants they should put in their garden to attract pollinators. Unfortunately, there is a lack of data-driven resources to help decide what plants to put in the garden. The purpose of this project is to use citizen scientists to determine the attractiveness of different commercially available ornamentals (annuals or perennials) to different groups of pollinators in the Southern USA, namely Texas and Oklahoma.
Due to popular demand and great results from 2020 and 2019, we’re launching the pollinator citizen scientist project yet again this year. This time, we will be launching the training and quiz online on-demand starting Monday, March 22nd, 2021, accessible through our project page. The training will be similar to last year, with some added training on plant identification (offered by Dr. Vikram Baliga from Texas Tech University).
We will also provide a live Q&A session on March 25 to answer any questions citizen scientists may have related to the project. See below for details on the Q&A Session.
When: Mar 25, 2021, 02:30 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
