FROM THE LATEST DEC NEWSLETTER----Amphibian Migrations and Road Crossings Project Volunteer Training
The Amphibian Migrations and Road Crossings (AM&RC) Project enlists volunteers to find locations where amphibian migrations cross roads; document weather and traffic conditions; record migrating amphibians; and help them across the road. The team at the Hudson River Estuary Program will be providing one virtual and three in-person volunteer trainings this year. Because our in-person trainings have limited space, we will give priority to volunteers from the Hudson River estuary watershed, especially those who have not attended an in-person program before. If you are a returning volunteer and need a refresher, please consider joining the virtual session.
In-person sessions:
Wednesday, Feb. 11, 6:00-9:00 pm in Albany (Albany Co.) Register to attend
Hosted by Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission
Saturday, Feb. 14, 9:30am-12:30 pm in New Paltz (Ulster Co.) Register to attend
Hosted by Wallkill Valley Land Trust
Wednesday, Feb. 18, 6:00-9:00 pm in Garrison (Putnam Co.) Register to attend
Hosted by Hudson Highlands Land Trust
Virtual session:
Save the date! Tuesday, Feb. 24, 5:30pm Stay tuned for more details and a registration link. If you'd like to subscribe to receive future AM&RC bulletins, you can sign up at the bottom of the AM&RC webpage.
Training topics will include volunteer protocols, safety measures, data collection and reporting on Survey123, and species identification. If you're unable to attend an in-person or virtual program, you can view our YouTube training modules. We would like all volunteers to complete some form of training prior to surveying roads and submitting data. Thank you!
