Estonia is looking for cowslips!

Scientists from University of Tartu and Estonian Fond for Nature invite this spring to join an exciting citizen science initiative – Estonia is looking for cowslips! There is no need for prior knowledge to participate. Observers need to check hundred individuals in one habitat and mark in the webpage whether the cowslip flowers are S-type or L-type. This well-known spring flower is a special plant, because the gene type of the flower can be distinguished by eye. With nationwide data, gathered with the help of volunteers, scientists can evaluate the condition of Estonian nature and the status of species and habitats.

The official webpage will be open in the middle of April www.nurmenukk.ee
