Help round up and band Canada geese for the Waterfowl Ecology and Management Project. This data is used to estimate survival and recovery rates as well as migration chronology and recovery regions for resident Canada geese. Ted Nichols says a sense of humor helps on the job because, once the geese wise up to what you re doing, the job will involve a great deal of running - sometimes in hot, humid weather. Then volunteer to be a Fishing Education Instructor at the Pequest Trout Hatchery and Natural Resource Education Center through October. Assist beginners by teaching casting techniques and how to land the fish at the Fishing Education Pond.
Classes are approximately two hours.
If you like indoor work, help the Division by opening and sorting mail, selling hunting and fishing licenses, answering phones, and light typing. The ENSP's Beach Nesting Bird Project needs volunteers with or without their own boats to help with fencing, monitoring, and educational outreach, so monitoring and educational outreach efforts can be intensified at Champagne Island. Or, opt to help out at Hereford Inlet which hosts the largest nesting colony of black skimmers in the state as well as numerous weekend beach goers. A training session is required. 631, Woodbine 08270.
