Just include the name and location and a brief justification of why you think the site is important. If you aren't sure if a site is eligible to qualify as an IBA, send in a short form nomination anyway. Don't worry about making mistakes on the short forms. All the information will be considered preliminary, and you will have ample opportunities to provide more accurate information later. We can also help you obtain other resources, such as maps, habitat inventories, GAP analysis layers, etc.
Funding is available to help chapters complete their nominations.
Don't forget to keep track of your volunteer hours and log them on the report forms for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. All volunteer hours count, whether or not they are in the field. We want to be able to show our partners how much Audubon effort is going into this project. Please ask if you need copies of nomination forms, instructions for filling out the forms, lists of IBA selction criteria, expense reimbursement forms, or volunteer registration forms. IBA nominations received as of November 1, 1998.
