Phenology can inform a range of decisions related to natural resource management, from understanding species interactions, to the timing of mowing and control efforts. The USA-NPN provides a complete set of tools that natural resource managers can use to ask and answer their questions, including:

• Protocols
• Data management, including interfaces for data entry and download
• Training resources for biologists or volunteers

The California Phenology Project, led by the University of California, Santa Barbara and the National Park Service, provides a great example of these tools in action, in a resource management context.
