Environmental Monitoring Programs for Students
What better way to get young people excited by science than to have them collect field data that can be used by researchers around the world!
GLOBE Canada is part of an Internet-based international monitoring program with incredible teaching support. The current Canadian site, linked here, is largely an intitiative of Yukoners who believe strongly in the value of hands-on education.
NatureWatch is a suite of community-based "citizen science" monitoring programmes including FrogWatch, WormWatch, IceWatch and PlantWatch. Through these programmes, Environment Canada collects national information on indicators of ecosystem health. New "citizen science" programmes will soon be available on lichens, tree health and benthic macroinvertebrates.
