Citizen Science
White clover growing in your lawn is quietly fixing nitrogen from the air into the soil — a free fertilizer service that synthetic lawn treatments actively displace.
Someone spotted and documented white clover growing along Marcliff Road in Rockville, Maryland. The observation was verified to research-grade quality, meaning enough people confirmed the identification that scientists can use it as reliable data. White clover is a common but ecologically valuable plant that feeds bees, improves soil, and thrives in lawns without much help.
