Real Birds: Audubon Launches National Volunteer Response Center

A new national Volunteer Response Center is gearing up to channel the energies of a growing force of volunteers seeking to help birds, wildlife, and habitat weather the assault of the Gulf oil spill.

The National Audubon Society opened the new facility in Moss Point, Mississippi on Monday, and organizers are being deployed to affected areas in three other coastal states to contact, coordinate and mobilize more than 22,000 volunteers who have signed up with Audubon. That number continues to grow. If you would like to receive updates on Audubon's response efforts and be notified when volunteer opportunities arise, please fill out our volunteer registration form.

Early in the crisis, Audubon teams responded to urgent requests from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Louisiana, recruiting and scheduling scores of volunteers to work dockside shifts to assist federal and state wildlife agencies in their recovery and transport of oiled and injured birds. Volunteers are now serving as "Wildlife Transport Facilitators" 7 days/week at four sites. Across the Gulf Coast, volunteers screened for special skills are helping to identify and mark fragile coastal areas to protect habitats and nesting areas from damage as clean-up operations become necessary. This remains an important part of our spill response. Please take a moment to vote for Audubon in the Members Project to support our continued response.

As Audubon ramps up, anticipated volunteer activities will include:

  • Volunteer Response Center Staff — scheduling volunteers, identifying and coordinating engagement with new projects, logistical support, arranging training, office management, etc.

  • Coastal Bird Survey — collecting data and photos on bird resources and impacts across the coast according to specific scientific protocols.

  • Wildlife Transport Facilitator —assisting USFWS and Tri-State Bird Rescue with volunteers scheduled in daily shifts in key locations for injured/oiled wildlife recovery and transport operations throughout the coastal region.

  • Bird Capture and Rescue Materials — making nets, cages, and other materials to assist trained professionals in oiled bird rescue efforts.

  • Citizen Science Monitoring — submitting electronic information on birds sightings at Important Bird Areas, refuges, or sanctuaries to assess population impacts, numbers of target species, or species of concern.

  • Bird Hotline Operators — providing on-site bird expertise for our Volunteer Response Center as well as possibly in field offices of BP, Tri-State Bird Rescue and others involved in response efforts to address issues related to bird sightings, handling, species identification, etc.

If you want to hear the latest on Audubon's response to the oil spill, join our next webcast, June 23, 1:30 PM Eastern Time/10:30 AM Pacific Time.
