Participatory Science is one way Virginia Master Naturalists contribute to scientific knowledge. Our chapter participates in 3 main participatory science projects. Click on the images below to read more about each of these projects. Please select a minimum of one of the three of these field trip options to attend. During each of these field trips you will be using monitoring equipment, using a variety of tools, and/or creating habitat. Please dress appropriately for these tasks. Equipment will be provided. Please note - each trip is on a different date.
