SUMMARY:🌳 Volunteer Opportunity: Scientific Tree Survey with VCR-LTER
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\n\nThe 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.\n\nThese 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.\nHiking clothing and marsh boots are strongly recommended\, since there are wet areas in the forest edge. We will supply all materials\, water\, and snacks.\nIf 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.

SUMMARY:Water Quality Sampling with LTER
DESCRIPTION:The Virginia Coast Reserve-Long Term Ecological Research (VCR-LTER) is looking for 4-6 volunteers to assist in conducting our quarterly water quality monitoring on January 15th (with a weather backup day of 1/16). \n\nThe day usually starts about 9am\, and all boats are off the water by 2pm.

Please contact shoffman@virginia.edu to sign-up or to get more information. \nThe lab address is Virginia Coast Reserve LTER\, Anheuser-Busch Coastal Research Center\, 6364 Cliffs Road\, Cape Charles\, VA 23310. \n\nLog your hours under Better Impact Category 23.

SUMMARY:🧤Volunteer Opportunity: Assist with Drone Work on Cobb Island
DESCRIPTION:The VCR LTER is looking for 1 or 2 volunteers who are able to assist with drone work on Cobb Island March 10-13. This work is a unique opportunity to see both North and South Cobb Island in their current separated forms. \n\nThis fieldwork will be long days on the island\, but not too physically draining.  If everything goes smoothly\, we may not be going out all four days.\nYou may sign up for one or more days. You must be available for the entire time. As of now\, the schedule is 7:30am- 4pm\, but this timeframe may shift.\nYou would be helping our student by walking around the island to install ground control points and then help keep an eye on the drone during flights.\nPack plenty of water and snacks\, since you will be out on Cobb the whole time.\nNote that bathroom access is limited to the boat ramp restrooms and the island itself.\nNo one will be getting wet\, but there will be a potentially chilly ride out there depending on the weather\, so we always recommend lots of layers (i.e. long sleeve + fleece + windbreaker or coat).\nFootwear is person-dependent on the island. Some wear old sneakers\, others wear tall boots\, and others wear hiking boots. If you are unsure of what to wear\, volunteers can always borrow workboots that we have at the CRC.\n\nPlease sign up HERE and reach out to Sophia Hoffman pbe8et@virginia.edu with any questions. \n\n\n\nLog your hours under Better Impact Category Category 23.
