Oregon Season Tracker – collaborative community science
Oregon Season Tracker (OST) links volunteers, natural resource managers, educators, and researchers to the science they use.
OST volunteers contribute to the understanding of weather and climate, and their effects on our local environment, by reporting precipitation and seasonal plant changes (also known as phenology). They make observations from their home, farm, woodland, ranch, or school.
OST volunteers are people like you, who share an interest in nature and the outdoors.
The Oregon Season Tracker program is not currently accepting new volunteers. Please check back in at a later time or contact Sarah Cameron at [email protected].
Oregon Season Trackers are motivated by many reasons:
“I am interested in doing science as well as observing the natural world.”
“Retirement gave me more time to pay attention to care taking my land and OSU Extension Service classes gives me more knowledge and ways to be able to see more.”
“Wanting to learn more about the environment and activities I can do on my own in my own area…”
“I have been collecting precipitation data for my own records for years. When I heard about the program it seemed like a great way to use my data for something bigger than just my own knowledge.”
