Abstract
The paper covers the results of the civic science project that involved VIR partners – Russian Geographical Society, Russian Schoolchildren’s Movement and the Association of Communicators in Education and Science – as organizers and schoolchildren, students and their parents from different regions of Russia as participants. The project, started in 2020 with observations of a single crop – an apple tree, elicited a positive response from motivated schoolchildren and was continued in 2021–2022 with the inclusion of various fruit and berry crops. In the course of the three years of the project, a phenological database was replenished with 3340 entries made by 670 project participants.
Supporting agencies: The work was done with the support of the special project ‘Fruits in line with science’, which is part of the ‘Okruzhayushchiy mir’ civic science project, which is implemented with the support of the Presidential Grants Fund and with the assistance of the Coordinating Council for Youth Affairs in the Scientific and Educational Spheres of the Council for Science and Education under the President of the Russian Federation. The authors thank the reviewers for their contribution to the peer review of this work.
