The Incidental Steward: Reflections on Citizen Science

Akiko Busch

A search for a radio-tagged bat led Akiko Busch to assorted other encounters with the natural world which illuminated the role of ordinary citizen as stewards of place. Here she highlights factors that distinguish 21st-century citizen scientists from traditional amateur naturalists, and celebrates today's renewed volunteerism and the opportunities it offers for regaining a deep sense of connection to place.
