SUMMARY:🧤 Volunteer: TNC Smith Island Oyster Reef
DESCRIPTION:Smith Island Oyster Reef\ndumping recycled oyster shells\nmax of 6 volunteers needed each day\nEmail Jen to sign-up to help: jdalke@tnc.org \n\nFri\, June 21 from 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.\nMon\, June 24 from 12 – 5 p.m.\n\nThe Nature Conservancy is looking for up to six volunteers to dump bushel baskets of recycled oyster shell off the boat near one of our Smith Island reefs. The group will meet at the Brownsville Shop in Nassawadox to fill shell baskets and load them into the boats before driving (carpooling or driving separately\, depending on your needs) to Wise Point Marina where we will launch the boats and dump shell. \nTentative schedule: \n\n1.5 hours to fill bushel baskets and load the boats at the TNC Brownsville Shop\n1 hour to drive to the Wise Point Marina boat ramp and launch the boats\n1.5 hours to dump shell\n1 hour to wrap-up and drive back to Brownsville\n\nSome volunteers will be in the water dumping and spreading shells while others are needed to hand down the shell-filled baskets from the boat. \nBring: Volunteers should bring waders and gloves if you have them. It will probably be warm enough that closed toed shoes that can get wet will work fine if you don’t have waders. TNC has some extra gloves for those who need them. \nNote: volunteers driving separately to the marina can park for free at the county kayak ramp and TNC can shuttle them or they can walk into the ESVA National Wildlife Refuge. Volunteers can also chose to pay a $10 entrance fee/vehicle to drive directly into the ESVA National Wildlife Refuge. \n\nBetter Impact Category 13

SUMMARY:🧤 Volunteer: Plant Eastern Shore Natives Ed & Outreach Info Session
DESCRIPTION:In an effort to reinvigorate the Plant Eastern Shore Natives initiative\, we have scheduled three meetings in July for interested members of the public to attend. Registration is encouraged. \nThese meetings will be almost identical and provide a brief overview of the history and purpose of the initiative\, both locally and statewide. \nMembers of the ES Master Naturalists and the Master Gardeners worked to overhaul the popular original guide that supports this initiative. Virginia Witmer of the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program has completed all of the content alignment and graphic design to have an order of this new edition printed within the month – very exciting! \nThe hope is that attendees who are keen to become involved will commit to form a new\, active work group that focuses on public and vendor education and outreach using the initiative’s communication tools – hosting booths/tables at public events\, doing educational talks\, working with vendors\, and more – to improve knowledge  of the benefits of the use of Eastern Shore Native plants. \n\nBetter Impact Category 15: Plant Eastern Shore Natives presentations

SUMMARY:🧤 Volunteer: Plant Eastern Shore Natives Ed & Outreach Info Session
DESCRIPTION:In an effort to reinvigorate the Plant Eastern Shore Natives initiative\, we have scheduled three meetings in July for interested members of the public to attend. Registration is encouraged. \nThese meetings will be almost identical and provide a brief overview of the history and purpose of the initiative\, both locally and statewide. \nMembers of the ES Master Naturalists and the Master Gardeners worked to overhaul the popular original guide that supports this initiative. Virginia Witmer of the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program has completed all of the content alignment and graphic design to have an order of this new edition printed within the month – very exciting! \nThe hope is that attendees who are keen to become involved will commit to form a new\, active work group that focuses on public and vendor education and outreach using the initiative’s communication tools – hosting booths/tables at public events\, doing educational talks\, working with vendors\, and more – to improve knowledge  of the benefits of the use of Eastern Shore Native plants. \n\nBetter Impact Category 15: Plant Eastern Shore Natives presentations

SUMMARY:💡CE: Learn About Mussels! (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:The event is free but you must register. \nWild Virginia will host a webinar on Wednesday July 24th at 6:30pm by Alissa Ganser\, an expert on freshwater mussels. You’ll learn about the fascinating life cycles of these valuable species\, who can live 100 years or more and use mimicry to fool fish into helping these largely sedentary animals spread their offspring throughout streams. \nThough little known to most people mussels have an outsized value to aquatic environments and the southeastern US has one of the richest and most diverse assemblages of these species in the world. However\, more than 70% of North American species are at risk or already extinct. \nPlease attend and learn how to help protect them in Virginia streams.Alissa Ganser is a PhD candidate in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences at Virginia Tech and has studied freshwater mussels in the Mississippi River in Wisconsin\, and streams in Kentucky\, Tennessee\, and Virginia. \nPhoto by Wild Virginia. \n\nBetter Impact Category 2: Continuing Education

SUMMARY:🧤 Volunteer: North Northampton County Butterfly Count
DESCRIPTION:We are looking for volunteers to assist with the count. No experience necessary!  Please contact Kellie Piekarsky to sign-up or get more info. \n\nDate: Sunday\, August 4\, 2024 (Rain Date: Sunday\, August 11\, 2024).\nStart Time: 11:00 a.m.\nEnd Time: Up to you. The count will last as long as you do! We appreciate your participation – there is no requirement to spend a particular amount of time.\nMeet-up Location: FORMER Northampton Middle School\, 7247 Young Street Machipongo\, VA (NOTE: The school does not have any accessible restrooms.)\nFee: There is a $3 fee for each participant’. Exact change would be greatly appreciated. \nSuggested Attire: Dress and prepare for hot/humid\, buggy weather and walking in natural environments.\nRefreshments: Bring water and snacks/food as needed. It will most likely be very hot so hydration is important. Safety first.\n\nAlso\, if you know of any public/private locations within our 15-mile count circle that would be a good place to see butterflies please let us know. \nIf you’d like to familiarize yourself with butterflies\, watch the VMN webinar “Butterfly Identification: Beyond the Basics” and  review the reference and presentation slides. \n  \nCount Circle for 2024 NABA North Northampton County Butterfly Count\n  \n\nBetter Impact Category 14: Annual Butterfly Count – Eastern Shore/Northern Northampton County\n  \nAdditional Information\nTeam Roles\n\nLeader – point person for team. Ensures members go to specified locations timely. \nSpotters – alert team members to a butterfly they have observed (no skill required!). Note: everyone on the team can spot! Photos are very helpful.\nScribe/compiler – records the number of butterflies/species observed for each location and then calculates an overall total. Forms will be provided for recording counts. If you cannot make a firm ID the scribe should document as much information as possible to assist in later identification.\nDrivers – each team will decide how they want to manage transportation – carpool or separate vehicles.\nIdentifiers – team members who have sufficient familiarity to identify the species observed.\n\nTips for a Good Counting Experience\nHere are some suggestions/requests to consider so that you can be prepared and have as pleasant an experience as possible. \n\nThink about how many hours you want spend counting butterflies. Some prefer to stop after a few hours while other like to do it all day.\nCameras\, binoculars\, and butterfly guides are great tools to have with you. Taking photos whenever you can is highly recommended\, especially if you are unable to ID the butterfly in the field. Also\, it’s great to include photos with any reporting. \nPlease DO NOT net or touch any butterflies. This activity should be as unobtrusive to the butterflies and their neighbors as possible.\nButterflies and Skippers will be counted – Moths are not considered for this count. I will bring the list of species we are most likely to see.
