232 A phenological atlas of plants dealing with practical economic matters. Upon request, the Centre shall e-mail standard datasheets and instructions for individual observers. An observer is to fill in the datasheets and submit them in the end of a year either at fenocenter@binrun.ru or by regular mail at Phenology Centre, Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2 Prof. Popov St., 197976 St. Petersburg. All the data are carefully stored at the Phenology Archives, processed, prepared for publication, and volunteer contributors get encouragement bonuses. It is obvious that the demand for such centres and websites is grow ing because of climate change, fluctuations of local weather conditions, and in connection with contemporary economic problems. Russia once used to have the world's biggest network of volunteer phenology re porters. Restoring this network is certainly a great aim which requires considerable effort, resources and time. Such a network should have one national coordination centre and regional divisions, similarly to RGS. It would therefore be expedient to consolidate the efforts of Moscow and St. Petersburg phenologists in promoting this network and setting up a common phenology centre to be able to promptly collect and summarize data from different parts of Russia. In addition to uploading own phenological data to the RGS website and cooperating with the St. Petersburg Phenology Centre, any interested person can take part in other phenological initiatives. One of them is the annual Universal Phenology Day organized by the Phenology Science and Education Centre of the Ural State Pedagogical University (Ekaterinburg), when data on bird cherry status on May 15th are collected from all over Russia. An interesting undertaking would also be to organize independent actions at various levels - school, nature reserve or national park and its surroundings, municipal district, region. A good way to promote phenology locally is to create a nature’s cal endar for each Russian region and publish it regularly (ideally annual ly). Such calendars have been published in Russia since the mid-20th century, and were of great help for the economy, since they provided official information. Contemporary Russian executive authorities - natural resources ministries and committees, annually publish the Report on the Environment of a specific region of the Russian Federation. It would
