GARNA partners with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to train volunteers on how to monitor nesting boxes on State Wildlife and State Parks land. Bluebirds, swallows and occasionally other species use cavities for nesting. Currently there are over 130 boxes in Chaffee County that are monitored regularly during the spring and summer. Each year volunteers check the boxes about once a week and record information about the birds. In the fall this information is recorded on the Cornell Nestwatch website.
On Saturday, April 12, two training sessions will be held:
10:00 am in Buena Vista at the Sangre de Cristo Electric Association
2:00 pm in Salida at the Division of Wildlife office on Hwy 50
Each training will last about 1 1/2 hours. If you would like to receive more information please contact Denny Arter at denison118@gmail.com.
Many GARNA programs require a Liability Release Form be filled out each calendar year.
