Volunteer opportunities:
Check-in/Check-out Station Managers – Welcome participants and other volunteers as they arrive. Get each person to sign in on corresponding participant/volunteer sheets. Keep logs of hours that volunteers/scientists put in. Several needed in order to rotate and give breaks!
Data Managers – Track species data as it comes in using iNaturalist, excel and/or written ledgers. Data managers will need to be detail-oriented and efficient. This volunteer role is essential!
Runners – Volunteers needed to gather supplies, carry messages, and perform various tasks on a moment’s notice to help facilitate the event. No experience necessary.
Field Guide Helpers – Assist members of the public in using field guides to identify species. Great volunteer role for anyone who wants to grow their knowledge of the local biodiversity! An eye for detail and/or any background knowledge of New England flora/fauna is helpful!
