Write down your observations. Autumn is known for the changing color and falling of leaves, but don’t forget to check for fall flowers, seeds, and fruits. These observations are important in understanding how plants respond to changes in climate and atmosphere over time. Use this observation form to know what to look for!

Log your observations to Project Budburst at budburst.org. You’ll make separate submissions for each tree you observe. If you don’t have access to the Project Budburst website, you can send your form(s) to wdpeducation@garnernc.gov when you’re done and we will log your observations for you!
This event is entirely virtual, so you don’t need to speak to anyone or register for the event. However, we’d love to see or hear about anything interesting you find so don’t feel shy about tagging or messaging us on social media!
Prize: Anyone who shows us that they’ve participated will receive a unique event button. Contact us by email (wdpeducation@garnernc.gov) or through Facebook.
