Being a Citizen Scientist with Liz Bullock of Brookside Gardens

Presented by the Wheaton Library Teen Advisory Board

Learn about climate change, invasive species, and how YOU can be a citizen scientist and climate warrior!

Liz Bullock of Brookside Gardens (close neighbors of Wheaton Library; visit them sometime, you won't be sorry!) will talk to us about her work at Brookside gardens, climate change and why it matters, invasive versus native species, and how you can be a citizen scientist with INaturalist! You will learn how you can help fight climate change by helping to restore native ecosystems, and Liz will show you how to take the first step by making a seedball to spread native plant species in your neighborhood!

Join us for our Teen Advisory Board Night the second Wednesday of every month! Are you interested in helping shape library programs and spaces for service-learning hours? Each month we gather to discuss how to improve teen services at MCPL. We offer free snacks, 4 SSL hours, and often have guest speakers from the community on teen interests. You can also join our TAB leadership which prepares teens for being leaders in the community, on college campuses, and good citizens of the world.
