Hello Ithaca-area birders and gardeners, As you may have already heard, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is creating an exciting new project called YardMap. YardMap will be a website where birders and gardeners can come together to map their yards, or any green space, to see how they can make them more bird-friendly.
Right now YardMap is still being developed and tested, and we’re looking for a few birders and gardeners to try it out for us in its current iteration. Would you be willing to help us out? What we are asking is for people to volunteer to come to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and spend 90 minutes with us trying out the new web site. It hasn’t launched publicly yet, so you’ll be one of the first people to try it out, tell us what you think, and give valuable feedback about how it can be improved on a one-on-one basis. This is a very important phase of the project and we hope you can join us. As a thank you for participating, we can offer you a $40 gift card! If you are interested, please take this short survey to let us know: https://ilinet.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_40X0b8fk7EUNAiM Testing dates include a variety of times on February 8th and 9th.
