description: This project considers how opportunities for citizen science could be designed in urban parks to inform the design and monitoring of bird habitat restoration sites. Landscape architects are well positioned to design interventions for citizen scientists and birders to collect data in more consistent ways by aligning site programming with existing citizen science projects. This project is focused on applications of citizen science at Trout Lake (John Hendry Park) in Vancouver, but lessons learned could be applied more broadly to inform future bird habitat restoration, public education, and landscape monitoring approaches in urban areas.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to contribute to my learning: Duncan Chambers for going above and beyond as a supervisor for this project, and for encouraging me to think about designing for birds in my first year of the MLA program. All of my professors at SALA for their mentorship - but especially Daniel Roehr for his dedication to his students and multi-sensory design, Patrick Mooney for his research on planting design and birds, Nicky Bloom for her attention to detail and learning landscapes, Benji Eisenburg for increasing my ecological literacy, and Michelle Gagnon-Creeley for helping me be a better neighbour.
