In April, the Weminuche Audubon Society members plan for spring, summer and fall projects with fun opportunities to spend time outdoors.
We have volunteer opportunities across a range of interests, and we invite you to share your enthusiasm and curiosity with us. At our evening meeting on Wednesday, April 16, we will be promoting our projects and explaining ways that you can get involved with us.
Do you love getting your hands in dirt? Then help us maintain and enhance our garden showcasing native plants at the Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership site in Centennial Park. Are you interested in helping to educate youth and spark a passion for protecting the environment in future generations? There’s a place for you in Audubon Rockies’ programs for area youth headed by Southwest Colorado’s community naturalist, Keith Bruno.
An exciting learning opportunity shared with Pagosa Wetland Partners members will prepare you to participate in the Riverwalk Naturalist Program and share with locals and tourists the magic of our wetlands along the river in town.
We have citizen science projects for the bird lovers among us. Learn to survey bird populations and spend some time in the woods watching and listening to birds. Relax along a river and document the comings and goings of American dippers during nesting season.
We are a welcoming group and encourage you to come and see what we are about. A desire to learn is the primary qualification we look for in volunteers.
Join us on April 16 at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis Street at 6 p.m. for refreshments and social time before the meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. Enter through the side door closest to the parking lot or let us know to open the main door for handicap entry. In appreciation for our meeting space, we welcome donations of nonperishable food for the church food pantry.
A Zoom link for those unable to join us in person will be posted on our website, weminucheaudubon.org, prior to the meeting
