SUMMARY:💡 Member CE: Birdability Project Training and Update (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:On June 10 at 7:00 pm\, we will host a webinar on the Birdability project in which VMN volunteers are visiting sites on the Virginia Bird and Wildlife Trail to collect and report data related to accessibility. Some changes were made to the protocols after the initial launch of the project in Fall 2024\, so this will be a bit of a re-launch. It will be a good opportunity for volunteers who already signed up for the activity to get a refresher in what to do and an opportunity for new volunteers to get involved. Cat Fribley\, Executive Director of the nonprofit Birdability\, will present.\n\nWatch for additional details and signup information in the next VMN bi-weekly email.\n\n\n\nPlease log your hours in Better Impact under Category 2 Continuing Education.
