Downtown TC Pollinator Citizen Science Project
Learn about pollinators and help researchers by participating in this citizen science project in Downtown TC. To participate, all you have to do is count pollinators for 3 minutes at one of the flower planters that is located on E Front St. between Boardman Ave. and Union St. in downtown Traverse City. Each planter has a sign with a QR code. Scan the QR code with your phone to participate. To learn more about the project you can watch these two short videos: https://mediaspace.msu.edu/playlist/dedicated/1_c844g0y7/ . For additional information contact MSU Extension Educator Nate Walton (waltonn2@msu.edu).
