Amateur Scientists Sought For Climate Research In Urban Center

Umass Amherst

      A new program of environmental awareness is being launched in western Massachusetts.

        Regreen Springfield, a non-profit community based organization, is hosting a citizen science academy. It is a free ten-week training program that begins April 5th where people will be taught how to find and collect data in the urban landscapes. 

        Field trips will let participants join real-world research projects taking place in Springfield.  

         WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with  Regreen Springfield president Dave Bloniarz.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
