"Community Science" vs "Citizen Science"

@charlie

It’s about citizen science but not only that, it’s about connecting people with nature (the mission statement i kinda don’t love) but not only that, and in a very unique and specific way.

And in some ways even more importantly, connecting people with people. Whether through learning, or teaching, or observing, or identifying, or everything else we do, the core of it is the people and the relationships we form with each other as we do those things together. Already in just a few months I feel as though I have friends here. Granted, I don’t get out much, but the sense of a shared passion forms connections that transcend distance :-)
