Utah Water Watch
Utah Water Watch is a water quality education and data collection program that seeks to increase awareness about the importance of water quality and promote stewardship of Utah's aquatic resources.
The Great Backyard Bird Count
Launched in 1998 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, the Great Backyard Bird Count was the first online citizen-science project to collect data on wild birds, and to display results in near real-time. In 2013, Great Backyard Bird Count participants in 111 countries counted 33,464,616 birds on 137,998 checklists, documenting 4,258 species - more than one-third of the world's bird species!
Bumble Bee Watch
Bumble Bee Watch is a collaborative effort to track and conserve North America's bumble bees. We need your help! Because these animals are widely distributed, the best way to keep track of them is with an army of volunteers across the country armed with cameras. With any luck, you might help us to find remnant populations of rare species before they go extinct.
The COOP
The National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) is truly the Nation's weather and climate observing network of, by, and for the people. More that 11,000 volunteers take observations on farms, in urban and suburban areas, National Parks, seashores, and mountaintops. The data are truly representative of where people live, work, and play.
Project BudBurst
Project BudBurst is a national field campaign for citizen scientists designed to engage the public in the collection and important climate change data based on the timing of leafing and flowering of trees and flowers. BudBurst participants take careful observation of the phenological events such as the first bud burst, first leafing, first flower, and seed or fruit dispersal of a diversity of tree and flower species including weeds and ornamentals.
Air Quality Egg
A community-led air quality network that gives people from around the world a safe way to participate in the conversation about air quality.
Fireflies!
Join the Natural History Museum of Utah and scientists at BYU to track down exactly the elusive firefly across the state!
World Water Monitoring Challenge
An international education and outreach program that builds public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the world by engaging citizens to conduct basic monitoring of their local water bodies.
