Initiatives
Nature Abounds Initiatives
Watch the Wild™, engages volunteers in observing and reporting on wild weather, wildlife and wildflowers in their communities. By monitoring, we hope to discover how our eco-systems are changing in response to climate change.
IceWatch USA™, modeled after and in partnership with Ice Watch Canada, engages volunteers across the United States in recording ice and snow sightings as well as wildlife activity near local waterways.
Pennsylvania Senior Environment Corps
Nature Abounds, with support from the US Environmental Protection Agency's 319 Non-Point Source Program, and in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is working to revitalize and expand the Pennsylvania Environment Corps, a group of senior citizens performing water quality monitoring, marking abandoned oil wells and education the next generation of stewards for the planet.
Citizen Watch Programs
Keepers of the Forest (pilot opportunity in PA)
Nature Abounds educates citizens within the national and state forest areas about issues facing the forest, including flora and fauna identification, invasive species, general forest health, illegal activities, and forest preservation. And what you can do to help remedy problems.
Future Initiatives
Nature Force Network™ (coming soon!)Nature Abounds™ works with environmental groups across the country to further their efforts and connect them to like-minded volunteers and other environmental groups working towards the same goals.
Energy Efficiency Education/Going Green
Through Nature Abounds™ "Going Green Corps™" program, local citizens are trained to teach others in the community how to "Go Green" with aspects from saving water to changing light bulbs, proper disposal of hazardous household chemicals, planting native plants, and so on.
Wildlife Mapping/Biodiversity Study
Nature Abounds™ is creating opportunities for citizen scientists to be involved in their local environment.
