Anyone who would like to volunteer to collect eggs should call Marlene Schroeder of the Southcentral Foundation at 338-4226. Egging will take the form of organized searches conducted by volunteers trained and supervised by the Municipality of Anchorage, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, USDA Wildlife Services and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists. Marlene will compile the list of volunteers and give it to the Municipality, which will pass out copies of the required permit on the morning of the egg collection. For details of where and when to meet, stay in touch with Marlene, or check the web site below after May 1. The first date will probably be around May 7.
Federal law requires that eggs be donated to a charitable organization.
Eggs cannot be used for personal consumption by volunteers. Please indicate that you would like to subscribe to FWS-Alaska news and give your name in the body of the message.

The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Aid program that distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state fish and wildlife agencies.
