Help Wildlife & Become A Habitat Steward!

*Please note the date change for the second Saturday field trip! It will now be on the 13th, NOT the 20th.

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME A HABITAT STEWARD!

National Wildlife Federation and Tahoma Audubon Society are offering a specialized 24-hour training to teach you how to help others create and restore wildlife habitat in backyards, schoolyards, and other private and public areas. This program is engaging, fun and highly informative and you get to meet and interact with local conservation professionals and other similarly interested folks!

Benefits include: an NWF volunteer t-shirt, 24 hours of hands-on training, engaging field trips, a comprehensive training manual with local resources, instruction from local professionals, and continued support from NWF and Tahoma Audubon Society staff.

Expert speakers will present on topics such as: rain gardens, gardening for wildlife, native plants, noxious weeds, habitat restoration, bird identification and conservation, pollinators, current science in the Puget Sound, site mapping and much more!

Classes will be held every Monday in May from 6:00-9:00pm at the Adriana Hess Audubon Center (2917 Morrison Rd. W). Field trip sessions will be held on two Saturdays (May 6th and 13th), plan on a full day!

*Scholarships are available! No one will be turned down to lack of funds. Email wahabitatcoordinator@nwf.org for more information.

**A 30-hour volunteer commitment within a year after the training is required. We will provide coffee, tea, and snacks at each training session and you are welcome to bring a brown bag dinner.

If you would prefer to pay using a check, please email wahabitatcoordinator@nwf.org to register! See you in May!
