Community Science Project

Participate with researchers in actual scientific field research. As an assistant in a Community Science project you are really connected to the natural world.

Three ways to get involved:

Researcher

If you are a university professor, graduate/undergraduate student or an interested community member you could initiate a project within Riverside or Washington Park. The Research Coordinator assists with project selection, design and arranging of volunteer research assistants.

Research assistant

Work side-by-side with researchers collecting data.

Research observer

Watch research in action. In addition to area researchers, you could also get involved in a national research project with one of our partners. For example, you could monitor nesting birds for Cornell University Lab of Ornithology.
