The Iowa DNR's Wildlife Diversity program will be holding six training workshops for people interested in getting involved with the Volunteer Wildlife Monitoring Program. The Volunteer Wildlife Monitoring Program has two components: 1) trains volunteers to monitor raptor (especially bald eagle) and colonial waterbird nests and 2) trains volunteers to adopt and run a frog and toad call survey route. You can learn more about the program and find a registration form for the workshops on our website: www.iowadnr.gov/volunteerwildlifemonitoring/ The schedule and locations of workshops: Bird Nest Monitoring February 23, 2013 O'Brien County March 16, 2013 Muscatine County March 23, 2013 Marshall County Frog and Toad Call Survey April 2, 2013 Osceola County April 9, 2013 Jefferson County April 11, 2013 Cerro Gordo County Hope to see some of you there!
