Community science with Polk SWCD
Community science is for people that are inspired by the world around them. It is a form of research that provides everyone—regardless of their background—the opportunity to contribute meaningful data to further scientific understanding of key issues. Although trained scientists play a vital role in conservation, the wider community has the opportunity to be engaged and make important contributions. The study of nature is for everyone!
