Join host Jenn da Rosa, EdD, for a virtual workshop with environmental educator Dr. Peggy Eppig. This webinar, Goucher Environmental Dialogues: Citizen Science for a Changing Planet, is on Wednesday, November 18, from noon to 1 p.m. ET. In this hands-on, webinar-based workshop, Peggy Eppig introduces participants to citizen and community-based science as a powerful tool for environmental monitoring and stewardship, exploring how everyday observers contribute meaningful data to research on biodiversity, water quality, climate, and more. Attendees will learn how to find and join citizen science projects, use accessible tools and apps to collect reliable field data, and understand how their contributions contribute to real scientific outcomes and policy decisions.
