Summary

An activity for 4-H youth to track phenology, the seasonal timing of events in nature like leaf-out, flowering, insect activity, and bird migration. Using simple “phenology wheels,” participants record observations over time to spot patterns and changes across seasons and years. The resource includes links to national and local nature-tracking tools and ideas for extending the project with maps, games, and citizen science.
