Plant Watch is a national program which has been incorporated into ecological integrity monitoring in PEI National Park. The program adds to understanding of how common plant phenology is responding to climate change. PEI National Park monitors the first bloom Julian dates of five species within the wetland and coastal ecosystems: Bayberry (Myrica pensylvanica), Beach Pea (Lathyrus japonicus), Wildrose (Rosa virginiana), Rhodora (Rhododendron canadense), and Labrador Tea (Ledum groenlandicum).
