Any location. Any project.

There are no limits to where you can put a chronolog or what you can monitor. You choose what story to tell.

Validate grant funded projects and engage the public with the results. Show visitors what work was done even long after the project has been completed.

Monitor changes in water levels or water quality over time. Record shoreline erosion, impact due to upstream events, or improved water quality due to resotration efforts.

Show visitors which plants are indigenous and which are invasive. Explain why invasive plants are a problem, how they spread, and what's being done to prevent them.

Document prescribed fire areas to show visitors why manicuring forests makes for a healthier ecosystem, or create a baseline dataset for areas prone to storm damage.

Chronologs help organizations recruit volunteers, promote upcoming events, and educate communities about important environmental issues and projects.
