| Greetings! 
 It's that time of year again when we're reflecting on our growth this past year, and working behind the scenes on changes for next spring. We look forward to your feedback on our survey, and to your participation this spring.

| Take our Observer Survey 2010 (and get a thank you gift)
 
  To help us take stock, please take our 2010 Observer Survey - and to  thank you for your time, we'll send you the USA-NPN gift item of your  choice (a thumbdrive, tote bag or coffee mug). You'll need to be logged  in to take the survey - but no personally identifying information about  you will be kept with your answers.
 
 1. Log in
 2. Take Survey

 |  | How many open flowers are there on this dandelion?

 This spring we'll be enabling observers to give us a measure of the  intensity of the phenophases they're checking. You'll be  able to report what percent of the tree canopy was filled in with leaves, how many open flowers or how many bees visiting flowers you saw. We've also worked to make  the interface run more smoothly and quickly (and are grateful to all of  you who've helped us identify bugs along the way).

 Spring 2011: Recruiting New Observers
 
 We're also looking forward to an outreach campaign this spring, to  recruit many new observers to Nature's Notebook. If you have ideas for  how to get the word out, send them to nco@usanpn.org. If you enjoy  participating, this spring would also be a good time to 'recruit a  friend' to our program.
 
 If you would like to help us recruit, check out the outreach materials we make available to our partners on our website.
