Be a Citizen Scientist

Anyone interested in becoming a citizen scientist who can monitor rare plant sites on the Island and throughout the region may join John Burns, program administrator of the New England Wild Flower Society, when he leads a free plant conservation volunteer (PCV) professional day on Tuesday, June 29, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Polly Hill Arboretum in West Tisbury. A short walk will follow the program.

The PCVs survey known rare plant populations, manage invasive plants, and participate in a variety of classes and field trips, while committing only to what they have time to do. The requirements are motivation, discretion and a basic knowledge of wild flowers.

Apply in advance, online at newenglandWILD.org or by calling John Burns at 508-877-7630, extension 3204, by e-mail to [email protected], or at the Polly Hill Arboretum, 508-693-9426.
