AMC’s 17 Years of Phenology
With AMC Staff Scientist Georgia Murray and AMC Research Fellow Jordon Tourville
 April 12
Webinar

The Appalachian Mountain Club, working with multiple partner organizations, established
alpine plant phenology monitoring across the Northeast in 2004 under the program Mountain
Watch. This program has now grown to include woodland flowers and tree canopy data and
engages community science participants along the Appalachian Mountain corridor. AMC’s
research team has results to share. Please join AMC Staff Scientist Georgia Murray and AMC
Research Fellow Jordon Tourville as they tell the 17–year–long story of the collected data on
open flower timing in woodland and alpines areas of New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and
New York. Georgia and Jordon will walk us through AMC’s unique effort to collect long–term
data, what the data says, and how you can continue to be a part of the story.
This President’s Society and Summit Trust exclusive webinar will have time for Q&A. Register here
