Subject: Citizen Scientists
From: Bill Saur <bsaur(AT)earthlink.net>

Folks:

I found an article in the local paper recently entitled "Citizen Scientists at
Work". One eye opening statement from this article for me was this:

"He's (one of the citizen scientists) part of a little-heralded but significant
movement in natural resource management that is worth noting on this Earth Day -
 the rise of the citizen scientist"

What an interesting development!

I wrote a blog based on this piece and if you are interested you can read it
here:

As I said in the blog, if you have any "citizen scientist" volunteer
opportunities, feel free to submit them as a comment to the blog and I will
publish it. I have readers from around the world and it would be my pleasure to
match a volunteer with an opportunity.

Regards,
Bill  Saur
