Join our community of local scientists and help us collect data!
The Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission is looking to engage people in science work at the preserve, both in helping to collect data and in getting a detailed look at what we do and why. Our Community Science Program seeks to collect data that can contribute to our scientific understanding of the ecology and management of the Preserve while offering meaningful engagement opportunities to our constituency.
Community Science opportunities are offered as the need arises. The schedule for both Community Science programs and our science lecture series can be found on our calendar.
