Rolling hills and washes in front of you support desert plants, like the Las Vegas bearpoppy.

Anyone can be a citizen scientist! Citizen science is the voluntary involvement of the public in scientific research. The data you collect as a citizen scientist can assist professional scientists and resource managers in their studies to better understand the park’s natural resources.

Join our citizen science project by photographing these plants following the instructions on our Chronolog time lapse station. Your photo, and photos from other citizen scientists will be used to document changes in our native and invasive plants through months and seasons to inform scientists at the monument. Email captured photos to: [e-mail] with the subject line “TSF-101”. You will receive an email back with a link to view the time-lapse.
