The Nature Conservancy needs your help

Looking for a great way to spend time by the water this summer? Do you know any students who are looking for community service hours? Would you like to help the environment?  If you or someone you know is interested in the following volunteer opportunity, please email me at [email protected] for scheduling and further information. Feel free to bring a friend along.  We are a non-profit organization looking for volunteers to assist our seasonal staff on four separately public boat launches in Oswego and Jefferson counties.  You do not need invasive species education, knowledge or experience to volunteer.

 

AIS (Aquatic Invasive Species) Education and Outreach Program, volunteers will assist our boat launch stewards in the dissemination of educational materials, inspection of watercrafts, sample collection and may be asked to take a few photos that can be done with the use of a smart phone. Our boat launch stewards will be stationed at the following public boat launches: Oswego (Wright’s Landing), Henderson Harbor, Sackets Harbor and Cape Vincent. You will meet the launch steward at their designated public boat launch and can volunteer as many times as you like or just once from June through Labor Day Weekend. Our boat launch stewards work Wednesdays-Sundays from 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. but you may volunteer for the length of time that you are comfortable with. If you feel you’d like to volunteer more than once, you may go to the same launch or try all four!
