Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail is looking for community members to join our group of Phenology Volunteers! Since the Bloomingdale Trail opened, community scientists have been making observations of plants such as serviceberries and lilacs, which grow the length of the entire trail.
Phenology is the study of nature’s cyclical events, like when a plant’s leaves emerge or when a bird builds its nest. Simply put, it’s nature’s calendar.
Consider Becoming a Phenology Volunteer!
If you are interested, please email info@bloomingdaletrail.org to RSVP for:
An information session + initial volunteer training will be held on:
Monday, March 16th from 6:30-7:30pm at the McCormick YMCA, 1834 N. Lawndale.
