Ecology Explorers Overview

We can help you and your class explore our Phoenix urban ecology

Ecology Explorers gives Phoenix area K-12 students and teachers opportunities to do real scientific research.

You can help research our Phoenix ecosystem and be part of the Central Arizona – Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) project being carried out by scientists. The scientific data you collect can be shared with other researchers and schools to see what patterns in nature exist across our Phoenix metropolitan area!
