Citizen Scientist Volunteers Report Feeling Happy and Connected to Nature
In fall of 2018, we invited volunteers like you from across the country to participate in a study led by Dr. Lisa Nisbet at Trent University. Over 500 people completed a survey that inquired about their experiences as Citizen Scientists, their wellbeing, and their connection to the natural environment. We are happy to report some preliminary results.
