The city of Versailles has been implementing participatory science protocols on flora and butterflies since 2006. The cemetery of Gonards also participates in the study «Living Cemeteries» by implementing the protocol Mission Hérisson and conducting recordings of bats.
These protocols are reserved for professionals but the rise of participatory science has also spread to the general public.
The city offers you to learn more about these easy-to-set participatory surveys in your garden or balcony and to put into practice the Operation Butterflies protocol as well as the SPIPOLL – Photo monitoring of pollinating insects.
