This year’s Nest Box Training volunteer training session will be a 30-45 minute refresher, offered virtually so participants can join by computer or phone. GARNA partners with CPW to monitor Bluebird nest boxes on State Parks and Wildlife lands throughout Chaffee County. The boxes are primarily used by Mountain Bluebirds and Tree or Violet-green Swallows. The recorded information is then entered onto the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website for their NestWatch Program. Boxes are monitored once a week from late April through early August and volunteers are partnered to share responsibilities. It is fascinating to observe the nest from first egg laid to last hatchling fledged. If you are interested in joining the training, please email info@garna.org.
Many GARNA programs require a Liability Release Form be filled out each calendar year.
Your registration is secured upon receipt of payment, as long as there space is still available in a program.
