SeasonWatch: Get Ready for August Challenge

 Have you noticed how the summers are becoming hotter and the monsoons more unpredictable? Have you wondered how changes in the seasons might affect the world around us? Become a citizen scientist to know more!

Trees are the pulse of changing seasons. Whether it’s the summer fruits of Mango or the winter flowers of the Red Silk Cotton or the pre-monsoon blush of new leaves on the Pongam, the passing seasons are recorded in faithful detail by the life cycles of trees. Who better to tell us about the changing climate then, than our friendly neighbourhood trees!

SeasonWatch is an India-wide program that studies the changing seasons by monitoring the annual cycles of flowering, fruiting and leaf-flush of 130+ common trees. Whether you are a school student or an undergraduate, a budding naturalist or a serial botaniser, a curious explorer or someone interested in understanding climate change through trees, this is a project for you!

It’s very easy! Just REGISTER yourself with SeasonWatch and ADD A TREE  from your neighbourhood to OBSERVE  every week, and UPLOAD your findings on this website! Continue reading to know how you can PARTICIPATE and REGISTER to join our brigade of nature observers!
