We're kicking off this year's The GLOBE Program North American Phenology Campaign (Green-down) with a webinar on Wednesday, August 19 at 3 p.m. ET.

Join us to learn about how your organization or school can participate in the North American Green-Down Campaign with the NASA-sponsored GLOBE Program. In this webinar you will learn how to support your audience as they monitor tree fall color change at your site and share data with a global network. We will share tips and resources for making this successful with your audience, and all attendees will be able to request a free green-down citizen science kit! You will also hear from NASA’s PACE terrestrial scientists, who are interested in comparing your ground-based photos of fall leaf color changes to PACE data.

Register for the webinar at https://zoom.us/meeting/register/Yy57J2WUR9iJljde_KlbJw #/registration.
