EALT- Citizen Scientist Volunteer Opportunity

Enjoy spending time in nature and learning about the world around you? 
You may be interested in becoming a Citizen Scientist.
There is no single agreed upon definition of a Citizen Scientist, but it usually refers to someone who collects data or otherwise contributes to a scientific project without formal education or employment.

As a local charity, the Edmonton and Area Land Trust relies extensively on the help of our dedicated volunteers. Our Citizen Scientist volunteers monitor wildlife and contribute to increased scientific knowledge of plant and animal species.  Visiting our conservation lands with another trained partner, Citizen Scientists have an opportunity to conduct their surveys on a schedule that works for them, and contribute to conservation in meaningful ways.
Currently, EALT offers the following Citizen Science activities:

Amphibian Monitoring
Bat Box Monitoring
Bird Surveying
Butterfly Surveying

The deadline to apply is April 1 for Amphibian Monitoring and May 1 for all other activities. All activities occur from April - August.
