Urban Tree Phenology for Urban & Community Forestry
In this presentation … A word about crowd sourcing & citizen science Professional arborists & urban
foresters How can it help your
organization What is phenology Nature’s Notebook U&CF NGOs & their volunteers An example: Casey Trees

Crowd Sourcing vs. Citizen Science
Crowd sourcing … the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or
content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people
distributive problem solving
Citizen science … scientific research conducted, in whole or in part,
by amateurs or nonprofessionals public participation in scientific research (also known as) crowd science, crowd-sourced
science, or networked science

Urban Forestry Professionals & Community Partners
Urban forest managers and arborists…
see direct relationship between their phenology observations and information valuable for planning & management
can work regionally (e.g. an ISA chapter) to leverage their immediate impact
Community Partners for U&CF…
will have volunteer opportunities for a wide range of interest & ability
provide another level of support to your community’s U&CF program

What is phenology?
• Linked to environmental conditions
• Integrative• “Fingerprint” of change• Easy to observe

…it is the study of recurring plant and animal life-cycle stages, or phenophases, and their relationship to environmental conditions.

Observing change over time
I observed an unusual circumstance this spring on the foothill of Moscow Mountain, northern Idaho, elev. 3000‘.
I have been monitoring the arrival of hummers for many years here--they range in arrival from early to late April. Usually the Calliope is first, followed by the Rufous. Over the last few years, the Rufous have been either arriving at the same time or before the Calliope. This year the two were nearly simultaneous on Apr. 23. About a week later I spotted the Black Chinned--usually not often seen, and never before late June/July (followed in late summer by the Broadtailed).

Using Nature’s Notebook… • …as a way to engage volunteers• …to answer urbanization and climate
change questions• …to better understand seasonal events in
urban trees
Engaging volunteers in two ways:• Through • Through continuing education classes
