Thousands of volunteers are taking part in a nationwide initiative to track climate change by recording the timing of flowering, leafing, and other plant life cycle events. Now in its second full year, Project BudBurst is successfully amassing observations from students, gardeners, and other citizen scientists in every state to give researchers a detailed picture of our warming climate.
