Access to practical tools & resources to help Canadians better understand and conserve wetlands.

Description

Successful volunteer monitoring programs demonstrate that volunteers can collect valuable data. NatureWatch is a suite of community based or "citizen science" monitoring programs that are administered through a partnership between the Ecological Monitroing and Assessment Network, the Canadian Nature Federation and the University of Guelph. Existing monitoring programs such as FrogWatch, IceWatch, PlantWatch and WormWatch form the founding components of NatureWatch. Others are under development. These programs encourage schools, community groups, individuals, naturalists, backyard enthusiasts, Scouts and Guides to engage in the monitoring of soil, air, water and other aspects of environmental quality.
