A page to collect observations for the class of Ecology at UT at El Paso (BIOL 3117). In this way students can learn how citizen science can contribute to a greater community of knowledge around them.

The goal of course is to identify and observe as many species as you can find in order to not only know the local species around you but to generate questions in regards to them as well.

One important note is that if you go out traveling in groups (recommended) only one student can observe one specimen for this project. Observations in personal field notebooks is still heavily encouraged. less ↑
