This list, sometimes called phenology or the timing of natural events, is often observed by each of us.\u00a0 Have you ever wondered how to record this information or whether it is useful?<\/p>\n<p>Nat Wheelwright, Emeritus Professor of Natural Sciences at Bowdoin College, wants to encourage more people to notice the world around them. To this end, he devised The Naturalist\u2019s Notebook (Storey Publishing, 2017), which he co-authored with Bernd Heinrich, Emeritus Professor of Biology at the University of Vermont and award-winning nature writer and artist.
