VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
All chapter work is done by volunteers for whom we are very grateful. If you are interested in volunteering in something other than the opportunities listed below, please contact Kathleen Snyder ksnyder75@nullgmail.com.
CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT: See the accompanying article in this newsletter on how to volunteer for this annual survey. We have two circles – one in Olympia and one in Lewis County. This effort is in its 124th year and a great tradition in which to partake.
YOUTH LEADER: The Education Committee is looking for volunteers to participate in OYAS, our youth birding program. We need an individual who is willing to contact Boy and Girl Scout troops, homeschooling groups, etc. to set up bird walks with the children/teens. In addition, we are recruiting additional volunteers to lead those bird walks. For additional information, contact Kim Adelson at kgdolgin@nullowu.edu.
TECHIES: Our social media presence is solid but could use new leadership. The current Communication Chair does not even use Facebook! If you are looking to build your social media experience for career advancement, maybe this is the means to do so. Kathleen Snyder ksnyder75@nullgmail.com.
PROJECT LEADER: Is there anyone out there who has a passion about a birding issue and would like to take on a leadership role to make an impact? Some possible projects include a Cats Indoors Campaign, Bird Friendly Window Solutions, Lead Fishing Weight Education, and Backyard Habitat Promotion. We are here to assist in every way we can, so let’s talk! Kim Dolgin kgdolgin@nullowu.edu
PHOTOGRAPHERS: BHAS has a photo gallery on our website and an Instagram account (Blackhills352). We would love to add new bird photographs to these platforms. Please contact Quentin Phillips at qmp932@nullhotmail.com. He will give you the parameters for what we can use.
