Forest & Bird Taupo Branch AGM Monday 3rd May 5.30 pm
Dr Monica Peters is on the Board of Forest & Bird and is co-chair of the Citizen Science Association of NZ. She also runs her own consultancy working with organisations on projects connecting the public with science. Like many conservation folk, she has a wardrobe of hats! Citizen scientists are volunteers who contribute to scientific projects, usually by collecting or analysing data. The number of opportunities to be involved as citizen scientists continues to grow, and teachers are increasingly using these opportunities to make science education more relevant and engaging.
