Monitors Needed
Long Reach CARES is looking for volunteers to help monitor 9 bluebird nest boxes and 2 wood duck boxes this spring and summer. Monitoring training will be provided- no experience needed!
Nest boxes will be checked at least once a week during nesting season per North American Bluebird Society guidelines (wood ducks will be monitored on a different schedule). Nest boxes will be located on CA property in Locust Park, Phelps Luck, Jeffers Hill and Kendall Ridge.
Any interested monitor under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult for each nest box visit. We are planning on asking volunteers to commit to 4 week blocks of monitoring for each box.
Please email LR WAC (Wac@longreach.org) if you are interested!
