Community Science
Participate in Community Science
Community science (also known as citizen science, crowd science, or volunteer monitoring) is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by nonprofessional scientists. That means YOU can help conduct important research that will directly contribute to the understanding of bird population health and conservation in our region!
There are a number of ways you can get involved in community science projects across our region! The most common way you can become a community scientist is by logging your birding efforts on eBird! If you aren't familiar with eBird, head over to our eBird's "Get Started" page here. You can also check out fun community science opportunities through Houston Audubon and our partners below!
