Join your fellow citizen scientists on Aug 23rd and 24th in the Great Southeast Pollinator Census. Anyone can participate and enjoy some quality time outdoors!
How Can I Participate?
Find a Pollinator plant like Milkweed, Butterfly bush, or your favorite flower and monitor for about 15 minutes to count each insect that visits your chosen plant. You can record your data on a notepad and submit your findings online at gsepc.org! The goal of this project is to help create pollinator habitat by educating others about the importance that pollinators play in our lives. Through your participation, data is generated to show population trends of local pollinating insects. In 2021, 6,000 participants across Georgia recorded data. North Carolina has joined in 2023, so we are excited to help promote this initiative. This can be a fun family outing to the local park or even just going out into the backyard. Wherever a flowering plant is where you can conduct your study.
What do we do after we count?
Early on the 23rd, you can go onto the Great Southeast Pollinator Census website and upload your data into a portal. Afterwards you can print off a certificate of participation! The data collected from this citizen science study is used as a data pool for researchers, college students, and local educators to write scientific articles or studies and in the classroom to engage our youth with pollinator studies.
