Illuminating Collaborative Opportunities in the Creation of a Community Science Tampling Program
Expanding access to meaningful participation in community science is essential for achieving more equitable representation and addressing persistent gaps in data collection. Herein, we describe the collaborative development of Tampling—a low-cost, community citizen science program that uses passive optical brightener samplers (tampons) to indicate the presence of human wastewater contamination in surface waters. Initially designed as a classroom …
What influences where volunteers practice environmental stewardship? The role of scale(s) in sorting stewards
Environmental stewardship (ES) typically occurs at nonprofit organizations through stewardship programs. Organizations may have limited capacity to understand what motivates volunteers, which limits recruitment and sustainment. Using a community geography approach, we propose that stewards self-sort and mobilize based on how an organization’s scale of operation matches the scale of stewards’ motivations. We test this in a comparative research des…
On the Possible Existence of a ‘First Law of Environmental Stewardship’
This article contends that environmental organisations vary in type, scale and purpose in ways that help stewards self-sort into the opportunities that align with their individual motivations and environmental concerns. To explore these potential links between personal motivations and environmental organisational attributes, we rely on descriptive and inferential statistics from surveys of two partner environmental organisations: one local scale …
Community geography as a model for improving efforts of environmental stewardship
Environmental stewardship (ES) is an established area of research in numerous fields of study, whereas community geography (CG) is a more recent and growing subfield of geography that aims to build capacity and affect change in communities through university-community partnerships. As such, CG demonstrates a shift in geographic research trends that provide benefits not only to the university but also to the students and community/ies as well. I a…
