Citizen science programs offer hands-on opportunities for individuals, students, amateur and professional naturalists, families and community groups to connect with nature while they contribute relevant data to scientific research projects that are on-going in the park. Island habitat restoration activities bring together a community of park stewards to protect and enhance native biodiversity in wild natural areas of the Park.
