Currently looking for volunteers who would like to survey and monitor coastal ecosystems for sensitive habitats and animal species. We are specifically looking for individual interested in shore birds and to look for the both non-listed and listed species such as the Western Snowy Plover and the California Least Tern. This is a great opportunity for those wanting experience in wildlife monitoring, endangered species management, local ecology, or an excuse to spend mornings at the beach!
No experience necessary, we will train you! After training, about 10-12 hours, volunteers will survey assigned beach segments (based on their preference and availability) within Orange County (from Huntington to San Clemente). Each shift runs between 2-3 hours to survey the entire segment and volunteers can choose to monitor 1-3 segments depending on their availability. We do not have a minimum or maximum of required hours but we do ask that you volunteer at least once a month in one of our events, surveys, or other opportunities. As part of our monitoring program, monitors will also be asked to conduct outreach and be prepared to speak to the public about the work that is being done and the background of the species.
We will also provide you with all necessary equipment including binoculars, clipboard, bird species guide, backpack, etc. These items will be on loan and volunteers are responsible for any damage or misplacement of equipment.
If you would like to apply, go to our website, https://www.ochabitats.org/joinourcrew, or our recruitment app, BetterImpact, http://bttr.im/h1bn9.
