"Wildflowers of Detroit is a community technology project for cataloging wild plants growing in Detroit, an effort which can enable people's appreciation of Detroit's reawakened ecology. Sometimes it’s called “citizen science," we call it community ecology - residents participating in the study of their own area. There is great value to be found in a community understanding it's own natural process."
