Welcome to our CoCoRaHS Neighbors to the North!

Blue Ridge Foothills and Lakes Chapter of Virginia Master Naturalist have a few members who are involved in CoCoRaHS. They submit precipitation observations to a nationwide database. We would like to now welcome our neighbors (or shall we say neighbours) to the North to this program!

PROJECT SQUIRREL
No matter where you live, city or suburb, from the Midwest to the East Coast, Canada to California, whether squirrels live in your neighborhood or not, you are encouraged to become a squirrel monitor.photo © 2007 Pete Birkinshaw | more info (via: Wylio)

Fox squirrels and grey squirrels are two of the most familiar species of wildlife in many neighborhoods and natural areas. In addition to being interesting animals to watch, squirrels can tell us a lot about our local environment and how it is changing. To gain this insight, we must gather data about as many individual squirrels in as many places as possible. This is where you come in; you can be a Citizen Scientist.
