A zoom-in on a very large sheet of paper and the hands of a small group of people around it, holding colouring pens. The paper is marked with arrows and short sentences or single words relating to citizen science. There are also several small leaflets, e.g. on "Soil Moisture", "Rain Forecast", "Fertiliser Level", etc.

In this step we share future opportunities for taking part in citizen science for those of you who wish to continue learning about this topic and keeping active after this course. Please share any others you might be aware of in the comments section below.
