Citizen science involves professional scientists and everyday people engaged in activities such as biological inventories, long-term monitoring and scientific research. The goals of citizen science projects are to generate meaningful, useful data that contributes to scientific understanding of a species. That understanding can then be applied to managing species and resources at the park level.

La science citoyenne fait intervenir des scientifiques professionnels ainsi que des gens «ordinaires», qui prennent part à des activités tels que des inventaires biologiques, de la surveillance à long terme et de la recherche scientifique. Les initiatives de science citoyenne ont pour but de produire des données importantes et utiles qui aideront à la compréhension scientifique d'une espèce donnée. Ces apprentissages pourront ensuite servir à la gestion des espèces et des ressources du parc.
