Please leave some good citizen science links below please.

Here, we’ll start: two in the UK (plants), one in North America (birds), and one that is pretty much worldwide (molecules).

- The Big Seaweed Search, NHM
- The Urban Tree Survey, NHM
- Lots of good stuff at Cornell Lab of Ornithology
- Foldit
