Thanks to the dedication of citizen scientists, research is taking place around the National Parks of the Great Lakes - helping to provide the science that NPS resource managers use to make informed management decisions. Taking part in a citizen science project requires committment. Participants undergo training to ensure they are following the approved research design and methods that will produce reliable data.
