VOLUNTEER WITH CALIFORNIA WATERFOWL
There are many ways that you can help California Waterfowl preserve, protect and enhance wetlands, waterfowl and outdoor experiences. Below are three key areas were your volunteer service will make a big difference.
Fundraising Volunteer Opportunities

Wood Duck Program Volunteer Opportunities
 Start
a Nest Box Project in Your Area
Volunteers who start or join established nest box projects have
the opportunity to participate in a statewide effort to monitor
and increase the wood duck population. After installing your nest
boxes, they will need to be cleaned and maintained each year. Volunteers
visit the nest boxes at least four times each spring and summer
to collect valuable information about nesting activities.
Build Wood Duck Nest Boxes
Volunteers can obtain box-making plans from CWA and build boxes
that can be donated to CWA or installed at nest box project sites.
Check with local businesses for donations of wood or funds to purchase
wood. Build boxes yourself, or with your scout troop, wood shop class,
or other group efforts. For more information regarding the Wood Duck Program, please e-mail cwaducks@calwaterfowl.org.
Hands-On Experiences
Wood ducks and their nest boxes provide hands-on educational
experiences for youngsters, volunteers, and landowners. CWA
volunteers use displays, slide shows and other resources to teach about
wood ducks and riparian wetlands. For more information about wood duck presentations and materials, email jeremy_kwolek@calwaterfowl.org |
