Community Science

Community Science Projects are collaborations between scientists and volunteers that expand opportunities for scientific data collection and help answer real-world questions. At the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust (CDLT), volunteers play a vital role in long-term monitoring that informs how we care for local lands and wildlife.

Volunteers can join one of several project teams — no science background required. Staff provide training, protocols, and support so participants can confidently collect reliable data.

To do these projects, click on the links below:

• Horse Lake Reserve eBird: protocol, traveling route map, stationary points map (April - November)
• Mountain Home Preserve eBird: protocol, traveling route map, stationary points map (April - November)

These surveys contribute long-term ecological data used to track habitat health and wildlife trends across the foothills.
