Citizen Science

A major focus of the Prairie Ridge Ecostation is to provide a field station for all North Carolinians to learn about the natural sciences by participating in scientific research. This research is facilitated by scientists at the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, at area universities, and organizations from around the country.

Much of the research is considered citizen science. Citizen science involves people of all ages and backgrounds in partnerships with scientists to gather valuable data for research.
