and animal activity as part of a project
called Nature’s Notebook. The Nature’s
Notebook forms are used to record
phenology (e.g., timing of leafing or
flowering of plants and reproduction or
migration of animals) as part of a
nationwide effort to understand and
predict how plants and animals respond
to environmental variation and changes
in weather and climate. Contemporary
data collected through Nature’s
Notebook are quality-checked, described
and made publicly available; data are
used to inform decision-making in a
variety of contexts, including
agriculture, drought monitoring, and
wildfire risk assessment. Phenological
information is also critical for the
management of wildlife, invasive
species, and agricultural pests, and for
understanding and managing risks to
human health and welfare, including
allergies, asthma, and vector-borne
diseases. Participants may contribute
phenology information to Nature’s

Notebook through a browser-based web
application or via mobile applications
for iPhone and Android operating
systems, meeting GPEA and Privacy Act
requirements. The web application
interface consists several components:
User registration, a searchable list of
1,260 plant and animal species which
can be observed; a ‘‘profile’’ for each
species that contains information about
the species including its description and
the appropriate monitoring protocols; a
series of interfaces for registering as an
observer, registering a site, registering
plants and animals at a site, generating
datasheets to take to the field, and a data
entry page that mimics the datasheets.

training programs to increase the
number of trained animals available for
adoption or purchase.
