Citizen scientists conduct a stream survey, one of the many projects completed by volunteers.

Citizen Science

The park district's Citizen Science program is one of the largest and most active in Northeast Ohio. Each year, hundreds of volunteers dedicate thousands of hours to the collection of biological data. Participation gives volunteers the opportunity to learn, gain a stronger appreciation for the natural world, and give back to the parks they enjoy.
