A group of scientists and educators launched an organization last year called the National Pheonology4 Network. Phenology is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature. People dont have to be plant experts -they just have to look around and see whats in their neighborhood, says Jennifer Schwartz, an education consultant with the project.
