๐ŸŒณ Volunteer Opportunity: Scientific Tree Survey with VCR-LTER

September 30October 4

The VCR-LTER (Virginia Coast Reserve-Long Term Ecological Research station) down in Oyster is looking for 2-4 volunteers to assist in conducting a fall tree census in Brownsville in late September – early October.
The lab group is planning to visit Sept. 30 – Oct. 4. You may volunteer for one or more of these days. The field work will be to measure the trunk diameter and canopy greenness of trees spanning the coastal forest edge at Brownsville Preserve, in order to track tree health and mortality.
  • These will be long, buggy days from approximately 8am to 5pm (weather-dependent), with a break for lunch, and working in teams of two people, with one person measuring and the other person recording the data in each team.
  • Hiking clothing and marsh boots are strongly recommended, since there are wet areas in the forest edge. We will supply all materials, water, and snacks.
  • If you are available to help out, please email Sophia Hoffman your availability or add your name and email to this spreadsheet. Sophia is happy to answer any questions.
