What Is Citizen Science?
Science is our most reliable system of gaining new knowledge. Citizen science is the public involvement in the inquiry and discovery of new scientific knowledge.
This movement is described by terms such as community science, participatory research, DIY science, crowdsourcing, and public engagement in scientific research. Citizen science is the most widely used term for this public involvement process in scientific research.
A citizen science project can involve one person or millions collaborating toward a common goal. Below are ways to learn more about the flora and fauna in Phil Hardberger Park, and become a citizen scientist!
