One could think of phenology as nature's calendar, showcasing when leaves break bud in the spring or change color in the fall or when birds begin migrating. Phenology helps us track changes in the timing of natural events like flowering or migration, providing valuable data for better understanding and addressing various environmental, agricultural, and ecological challenges and patterns.
We invite you to share the phenological events you are observing by submitting your signs of fall to Journey North.
Here's a guide on what to report as you begin to notice these changes around you.
