Such an important subject to help us understand climate change, for those living in the UK, you can join citizen science Nature's Calendar ( via WoodlandTrust website) and upload observations

That's wonderful. Thank you for sharing that website for UK readers. In the US our National Parks Service has had something similar in the past but everything is in upheaval at the moment. There are other non-profit groups. In my region there is the Naturalist Audubon Society. You're right, this is a very important subject worldwide.

I discovered this concept recently. I was fascinated by this mapping project as I followed the signs of autumn on it. Spring should be more fun. It is also a concrete measure of climate change year to year: https://www.usanpn.org/data/maps/spring

So many fruitful ideas here, Leenie! Here on the 98th meridian, we experience climate change via rising heat (of course) and increasing aridity. I note temps and rainfall in my journal and a couple of years ago, started a rainfall year/year spreadsheet. This interesting book was my first introduction to phenology: Witness Tree: Seasons of Change with a Century-Old Oak, by Lynda V. Mapes
