Thank you to all the new and returning volunteers for joining us at the trainingon July 9, 2011 at the Yolo Wildlife Area. It was great to get out in the field with you and to check out those sandpipers! Here is some additional information regarding logistics and scheduling.
1. Sign up so you can add to this Blog and check it out often! Khara and I will be posting interesting information here and it is a great way for you to communicate with the FFSS team about the exciting things you encounter in the field. In addition, this is where you will find links to important items such as the Calendar, datasheets, and additional resources.
2. Don’t forget to sign-up for CADC if you do not have an account. Those of you with a CADC account will need to add the FFSS project if it does not appear on your list. For instructions, go to the FFSS blog and on the right hand side under Volunteer Resources, click the link for FFSS Documents then download the “FFSS_CADC_Data entry protocol_2011.pdf”
3. Visit the FFSS Calendar where we posted a live, interactive version of the schedule we created on Saturday. This can also be accessed from the blog on the right hand side under Volunteer Resources, click FFSS Calendar.
For more details about how to use and edit this calendar, please look under ‘Volunteer Resources’ where you will find a link to FFSS Documents which includes a 'How To Use the Google Calendar' document.
4. If you did not make it to the training session and need documents or you have not signed the waivers (all four of them!), please download them on the blog: Under ‘Volunteer Resources’ you will find a link to FFSS Documents, which will take you to a list of documents including the Audubon, PRBO, Yolo, and Cosumnes Volunteer Waivers. Please sign them and send them to:
