The 2009 Field Campaign is Now Underway!

Join thousands of others in gathering valuable environmental and climate change information from across the country. Project BudBurst engages the public in making careful observations of the phenophases such as first leafing, first flower, and first fruit ripening of a diversity of trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses in their local area.

I would join it, but it's an American site and so has no bearing for me here in Germany. Is there a European alternative?
