|
| • These events
received an enthusiastic
response from the community and around the nation. |
|
| • In-kind
assistance was generated
through collaborations
with the University of California, the Riverside-Corona Resource Conservation District, and the National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution). |
|
The City of Riverside has received the following grants to help move the citizen science program forward, beyond the previous formats: |
|
| • National Park Service Grant - technical assistance from the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program. | |
| • Proposition 84-supported Nature Education Facilities Program grant from California State Parks - $780,000 to create a nature center at Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park. | |
|
Currently: The National Park Service RTCA technical assistance grant has brought together the collaborating agencies into a working group: the Riverside Metropolitan Museum, the University of California at Riverside, the Riverside-Corona Resource Conservation District, the City of Riverside Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, and the National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution). Together we will: |
|
| • Create a vision and
mission for a citizen
science program, for Riverside and its sphere of influence. |
|
| • Work together to share resources and identify all the needs of the program. | |
| • Work on strategic plan and implementation plans for the program. | |
| • Identify a partnership model that builds on the strengths of all the partners, and builds the capacity for the expansion of our mission. | |
