Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: We are coordinating a citizen science project among cranberry growers. Collaborators will be collecting daily high and low temperatures and recording plant phenology throughout the summer according to a standardized protocol. This project will allow for more accurate correlation between cranberry growing degree days and plant phenology and thus aid growers in management decisions.
