Hi I just learned of your nature sightings list and see there are many user=
s publishing nature sightings. These sightings could provide useful scienti=
fic data when pooled together in a database (citizen science). That's why I=
 created the website 'Wildlife Sightings'=2C http://www.junponline.com  Bot=
h individuals (novice & expert=2C young & old) and organizations/educators =
(wishing to manage their own group surveys) can contribute nature sightings=
 at this website. Nature sightings are shared with the public and distribut=
ed to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF.org). I would appr=
eciate any feedback from NatureNS users on this citizen science project and=
 would be delighted to assist anyone with questions on it. I live in Bedfor=
d=2C Nova Scotia and could meet with any organizations wishing to use these=
 free services to conduct their own wildlife surveys. Thank you=2C

 by a citizen science project that took place in Nova Scotia 100 years ago=
=2C called the 'the Thousand Eyes Project'=2C where students across NS gath=
ered wildlife sighting data for 20 years! 		 	   		  =
