4. Proposed citizen science initiatives¶
4.1. Introduction to citizen science¶
Example of Hammerdirt beach litter surveys and Hackuarium lab projects.
Plant observation platforms infoflora, plantnet
4.2. Contributions to InfoFlora database - plant surveys¶
Time out in the field is often the most expensive part of conducting plant surveys - take advantage of field time dedicated to seed collection to collect data and make observations. Relevant for region surrounding Biel/Bienne.
Construct and maintain observational database of plant life around the city.
Gather knowledge from local experts, activists and gardeners who know where plant populations are but have not officially recorded them.
