Are you a strong birder or experienced naturalist? Join us for an orientation session October 28 from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM and you may become a volunteer bird walk leader for ASNV. You can help us introduce birding and nature to more people in the region. The more people who care about birds, the more people who will want to help us protect them. Current ASNV bird walk leaders are also welcome and may find the discussion helpful, especially regarding eBird and BirdCast. We are looking for people with at least 2 years of birding experience who feel comfortable identifying most of the birds in our region by sight and at least 10-15 species by sound. We also want to find volunteers who have expertise in other natural resources, such as plants, animals, fungi, flowers, and geology, who are interested in leading nature walks. Sign up here.
