The OSU Extension Home Horticulture working group (comprised of faculty & staff involved with the Master Gardener program) met in November 2016 in Corvallis.\u00a0 One of the items discussed was how community science projects relate to the Master Gardener program requirements.\u00a0 The group agreed to the following:<\/p>\n

To be approved for Master Gardener volunteer hours, community science projects must:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Align with the Master Gardener educational mission of discovering and disseminating research-based gardening information,<\/li>\n
  2. Advance one of both of the flagship programs of the OSU Extension Master Gardener program: sustainable gardening and\/or home and community food production,<\/li>\n
  3. Involve participation on one or more levels of the community science typology.\u00a0 These levels are (from least to most involvement): crowdsourcing, distributed intelligence, participatory science, collaborative science.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong>The following are Oregon and national community science projects which are approved for\u00a0indirect volunteer hours<\/u><\/a><\/span> with the OSU Extension Master Gardener Program as of 12\/2020. You may count your hours as the actual time spent collecting and submitting data.\u00a0 When reporting volunteer hours associated with participation in approved community science projects, volunteers should report in the category of \u2018Citizen Science\u2019 (indirect volunteer hours).<\/p>\n
