I’ve blogged about Citizen Science before and covered my first real field outing for Loon Day here and decided to show another Citizen Science project called the “High Country Survey”.
In a nutshell, Citizen Science is funded by the Glacier National Park Fund and provides a little bit of classroom training, then unleashes volunteers (wannabe biologists) out into Glacier National Park to get real scientific data. Basically it is crowd-sourced science.
This day we were counting mountain goats and doing an aquatic insect survey along the Highline Trail from Logan Pass to Haystack Butte. We counted a lot of goats and got a couple of interesting bugs for the entomologist
