Hello Master Naturalists!
Thanks to all of you for a stupendous summer field season. As we move into fall we have a host of projects on the horizon and there is space still available. Below is a list of project dates and places that we are still recruiting help for.
September 24 - 25 Lees Ferry Habitat Restoration
Join park personnel and other volunteers for this weekend volunteer extravaganza. Camp fee free at Lees Ferry and help rehabilitate social trails, remove invasive plants, collect trash, and map weeds. All tools and food provided. Spaces are limited and filling fast.
September 28 - October 4 Inner Canyon Vegetation
Spend a week in the canyon at the famous Phantom Ranch area. Stay in a trail-crew bunkhouse while volunteering to eradicate non-native plants. All tools and food provided. What a fabulous way to see the inner gorge of the Grand Canyon!
October 7-9 and/or October 14-16 Forest Canopy Assessment
Help collect valuable scientific information about the trees in the North Kaibab National Forest. Transportation, food and training provided! Work alongside other volunteers and personnel gathering information to be used in a long term study of the Kaibab National Forest. Camp out under the stars and be part of important scientific research.
These are the most up and coming events on the schedule. If you are interested in other opportunities or have specific dates in mind let us know.
Hope to hear from you soon!
