Sounds like an excellent idea. Not highly quantitative, but it can at least
confirm the presence of species at various times and places.

Subject: [NatureNS] citizen science, nature sightings
Hi
I just learned of your nature sightings list and see there are many users
publishing nature sightings. These sightings could provide useful scientific
data when pooled together in a database (citizen science). That's why I
created the website 'Wildlife Sightings', <http://www.junponline.com>
http://www.junponline.com
Both individuals (novice & expert, 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 distributed
to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF.org).
I would appreciate any feedback from NatureNS users on this citizen science
project and would be delighted to assist anyone with questions on it. I live
in Bedford, Nova Scotia and could meet with any organizations wishing to use
these free services to conduct their own wildlife surveys.
Thank you,
Paul Lindgreen, Bedford, Nova Scotia
Wildlife Sightings, <http://www.junponline.com> http://www.junponline.com
ps. my website was inspired by a citizen science project that took place in
Nova Scotia 100 years ago, called the 'the Thousand Eyes Project', where
students across NS gathered wildlife sighting data for 20 years!
