SUMMARY:Phenology in the New Year
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Meetinghouse!\nSaturday\, January 3\, 2026\n11:00 am – 1:00 pm\n  \nPhenology is the science of nature’s calendar—tracking when things happen outdoors. Think of it like noticing the first spring flowers\, the arrival of migrating birds\, or the changing colors of fall leaves. Scientists use this information to understand how seasons and climate affect plants and animals. \nIn this fun workshop\, you’ll: \n\nLearn what phenology is and why it matters for our planet.\nSee why timing is important\, like how blooming flowers match up with pollinators or how climate change can shift seasons.\nBecome a citizen scientist! Get tips on observing your own backyard\, schoolyard\, or favorite park and sharing your data to help real scientists.\n\nYou’ll receive starter materials to launch your own nature-tracking adventure. \nWho: Middle school students and up\nCost: $20 per person \nCome explore the rhythms of nature—and start noticing the world in a whole new way! \nLed by Heather Cochrane\, Masters of Environmental Studies and Certified Forest Therapy Guide
