Citizen Science

Do you like to explore the natural world?  Do you want to contribute to real science research in a fun outdoor project?  Maybe you want to Explore the Shore, Spot the Swallows, or Monitor the Marsh with Point Defiance Zoo naturalists as part of ongoing citizen science projects! 

Explore the Shore

Join us for low tide beach walks at Owen Beach, where we identify tide pool animals and record their presence and location to add the information to the scientific NatureMapping database.
