Ways to Get Involved
Become a Avian Botulism Survey Volunteer
Volunteers help our biology team monitor taro fields and wetland management units for avian botulism. Avian botulism volunteers search field perimeters in an assigned area, collect dead birds, report sick or injured birds and accurately record observations. A three month minimum commitment of 2-4 hours a week is required. Volunteers must enjoy working outdoors in a variety of weather conditions, have the ability to walk long distances on uneven but flat terrain and have an interest in natural and cultural resources conservation (formal education is not necessary).
