Do you like to get down and dirty in nature? We've got a job for you! The Wetlands Conservancy conducts annual field surveys throughout September and October to monitor beaver activity in urban wetlands. This will be our 10th year working with volunteers to collect data on the structures beavers build in the wetlands of Washington County.
This is a welcoming and equal-opportunity activity, and all surveys will be held outdoors. BUT! The training is virtual and everyone interested in learning about urban beaver populations is encouraged to attend. All trained participants must be willing and able to traverse uneven terrain and sometimes cross open water with dubious footing. All equipment is provided and all surveys will be led by a staff guide.
If you cannot attend the training, but still want to help conserve wetlands, please let us know. We have other tasks that may need your assistance.
Sunday Sept 9, 10am-11:30am via Zoom
