Community Science

Community Science at Tin Mountain Conservation Center

Tin Mountain’s first Community Science initiative began in 1988 when we joined members of the community to participate in the National Audubon Society’s annual Christmas Bird Count. We have since expanded our Community Science initiatives to include “Big Night”, a program that monitors spring movements of amphibians across roadways and the North American Butterfly Count, which catalogues butterflies in local gardens and meadows. Our goal with these programs is to increase the connection  between research efforts and the general public.
