Fall Into Phenology - September 17 - 26
Celebrate the Fall Equinox with Project BudBurst's new field campaign
- - Fall Into Phenology. Don't let our name fool you! We want your
observations all year long, not just in spring. Fall is a great time
to watch leaves changing color and falling, fruits ripening, and see
flowers blooming. That last one might be a surprise to some as many
of us don't think of fall as a season for flowers. Wildflowers such
as Soft green-eyes and California poppy are blooming in parts of
California in September. In New England, leaf peepers are enjoying
colorful changes on red maples and aspens in the Rockies turn gold
before shedding their leaves. What are the plants doing where you
live? Share their stories with others from around the country.
Be part of this inaugural campaign. Simply grab our new Single Report
form, observe a plant, and tell us what your plant was doing on the
day you observed it! Help us reach our goal of 500 reported
observations during this campaign. That's an average of only 10
observations per state. Together, we can learn more about how plants
respond to changes in their environment. Visit
