Check out this amazing new map to forecast when peak flowering will occur. A colleague of ours, Mark Raleigh, has developed a snow and wildflower forecast viewer. It uses the Google Earth interface which allows you to zoom in and out of precise areas. This is a super exciting tool because you are able to view snow disappearance dates, and peak flowering dates for many of our focal species. It is still a work in progress, so we would love feedback on what you like and what you think needs improving. Take a look at the Interactive Map and tell us what you think in the comments!
