Call for Volunteers on three
different workdays! All of these days will be benefiting the rookery islands
that nesting birds use, however not every workday will include a boat ride to
the islands. Please read through each workday description to identify what
activity we will be doing and how many people we are requesting. We are
utilizing our online registration system for all three events so if you are
interested in attending more than one day, please register separately for each
day so your information is captured properly. The registration system will tell
you if the spaces are full, however you may be placed on a waiting list throughTERN@audubon.org if there are no spaces available. For each person who
registers (including their email and phone number) we will send out a follow up
email with a map to the site and more specific instructions if need be.
The phone number you provide will be the number we call if we need to cancel a
workday due to bad weather, which could be a few hours before the workday the
morning of or the night before, so please include a cell phone if possible. If
you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email tern@audubon.org

island. Be at the Ecocenter for 9:30 am and we will end
around 12pm. Bring weather appropriate clothing, boots or shoes you don’t
mind getting dirty. We will have gloves, shovels, and other tools.

Rollover Pass Work Day Friday,
February 6th- We need 5 people to help plant

Rollover is quite a trip, you have to cross the Bolivar ferry. We have a
few spaces in our truck to carpool (3- only spaces available). We will be
leaving TCCP about 8 am and arriving at the Rollover ramp at
about 10 am and work
until 1pm or 2pm. Bring a lunch weather appropriate
clothing, rubber boots in your have them, and a dry set of clothes for the ride
home! The ramp is very primitive- there is one port-a-potty and not much
else. Bolivar is very rural, but there are a few gas stations we can stop
at (and we normally hit the bathrooms right by the ferry as we get over there).
