Description:

Budburst brings together researchers, educators, gardeners, and citizen scientists on a shared journey to uncover the stories of plants and animals affected by human impacts on the environment. We hope that sharing these stories will increase appreciation of plants and the natural world and inspire conservation action.NGSS-aligned curriculum is now available for Grade 3-5 educators wishing to engage students in Budburst phenology observations during remote learning. Students become Budburst community scientists from home by studying the timing of seasonal life events in plants around them. Understand the science of phenology, its history and contributions. Meet the five Budburst plant groups, andReview key phenology events within each plant group. Register as a Budburst citizen scientist to create your account,Post your observation reports, andReview and analyze your data.Milkweeds and MonarchsSummer 2020 - Fall 2025Declines in monarch butterfly populations in North America may be due to declines in milkweed plants, a necessary part of the butterfly's reproductive cycle. The butterflies lay their eggs exclusively on milkweeds, which their caterpillars (larvae) rely on for food as they develop. Researchers are studying the relationship between milkweeds and monarchs more closely, and Budburst is enlisting our citizen scientists to help answer the question, do monarch butterflies prefer to lay eggs on flowering or non-flowering milkweed stems?ParticipateWe offer climate change and phenology materials and tools for formal and informal educators for all age groups. Budburst educator accounts provide a classroom portal, including plants, locations and student accounts. Budburst data are freely available for anyone to download and use and have been used by scientists, horticulturalists, and educators in the Budburst network and beyond to address current research questions.
