Guided Citizen Science Outings

Let ASC  Lead Your Next Outing

Picture
We work with NGOs, schools, agencies, and other organizations to design, recruit participants for, and implement citizen science projects.   Through participation in our projects members of the community are forever attached to the areas they volunteer.  When intimately involved in learning about the perils an area may face, we believe people are more likely to advocate for its protection.

A great void currently exists in our understanding of  the planet.  The collection of data that could shed light on these impacts can be expensive, time consuming, and physically challenging.  By working together on a citizen science outing we can get researchers the information they need.  All of our outings provide researchers and management agencies with meaningful and useable data.

A few things to keep in mind.  

  • We work with primarily with Military Veterans, Students, and Members of the Comunity.
  • We operate citizen science outings year round.
  • We can accommodate up to 20 people per trip in the summer and about 12 in the winter.
  • We can work in any geographical area.
  • Anyone can become a citizen scientist
  • You do not need to have a scientific mission ready when you approach us, we can find the researchers who need information from the areas you wish to work in.
  • Our citizen science projects usually last from 2 days - 1 week.  
  • We can recruit project participants for you.  


I learned to recognize all types of wildlife tracks, traces, hairs, and scats; I learned about the scourge of Blister Rust and the pressure it places on
grizzly habitat; I discovered the ethos of Leave No Trace camping; but most of all, I learned that anyone, regardless of experience, can make a difference.

The weekend would have been successful even if our goal had just been outreach and education. With a diverse team of volunteers we were able to cover a huge amount of ground, and our efforts may ultimately help protect bears and their habitat.

The weekend was a huge success.  The participation of 13 volunteers allowed us to split into six groups over the two days, and cover more wolverine trail segments than we could have possibly covered on our own.  The productivity of our tracking efforts, in terms of distance covered and samples collected was probably three times greater than what we would have accomplished without ASC volunteers.
