April is Citizen Science month.

We hope everyone is finding a way to get through this alarmingly unique time in history. Between sheltering in place, quarantine, curfews, not to mention home schooling, working from home and job interruption, there are so many new experiences that we all need to navigate.

While Camp Bayou is closed to vehicular traffic, there is always the opportunity to explore the nature in your backyard and neighborhood. This Saturday, we had planned a BioBlitz at Camp Bayou. While the on site event has been cancelled, we encourage everyone to participate right from their own homes and yards. Visit SciStarter to view the project. You'll need to create an account, if you don't already have one, at iNaturalist.org . This is an excellent opportunity to learn about what is living right under your nose!

If you are looking for more environmental education activities- during this crisis and beyond- we have collected some great resources on the Camp Bayou website.
