The annual volunteer monitoring project that monitors Western Snowy Plover nesting on the north coast, the Snowy Plover Patrol, has been delayed due to the coronavirus, and physical training sessions aren’t currently possible.  However, the project’s primary sponsors, Portland Audubon and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, are preparing the project for launch whenever pandemic precautions are lifted by holding a series of training webinars online.  There are four modules, each of which is offered on two occasions.  These webinars are free—you can take any of them twice is you so desire.

The first offering of the fourth and final module takes place on Saturday, April 18, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.  (Note that Module 3 takes place at 10 on the same day.)

Module 4: Armchair Survey

Content covers: Beach Simulation, Recap, Quiz

The subject for Module 3 is “Feet on the Beach”:  Survey Protocol, Tips, Data Collection, Beach Safety.

The online training will take place over Zoom. It is recommended that you call in via phone, then bring the presentation up on your computer screen if you are able.
