AMC’s 17 Years of Phenology
With AMC Staff Scientist Georgia Murray and AMC Research Fellow Jordon Tourville
Wednesday, April 12, 2023

The Appalachian Mountain Club, working with multiple partner organizations, established alpine plant phenology monitoring across the Northeast in 2004 under the program Mountain Watch.

Georgia and Jordon will walk us through AMC’s unique effort to collect long-term data, what the data says, and how you can continue to be a part of the story.
