many reasons, the spring of 2020 was going to launch several new citizen science and invasive species projects; and then the world shifted because of COVID-19. Thankfully, all these projects could be done while also social distancing. This presentation will
highlight the basic citizen scientist questions and protocols used for each invasive species project and offer a short overview of the projects including: Squill Hunt; Jumping worms: Report Management; Gender Bending Trees: Amur Corktree; Stop Oak Wilt; and
Naturalized Norway Maple. Each project has a different audience, objective and tools that uniquely fit each question. Learn what worked, what didn’t, and what we still don’t know.
