Eagle Watch Volunteer Training – Zoom Option
December 20 • 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The Conservancy’s winter Eagle Watch program runs through January and February, weekends only. Volunteers cover morning or afternoon shifts at the Eagle Observation Areas.
New and returning Eagle Watch volunteers are invited to join us for a virtual Zoom training on Friday, December 20 at 5pm. Zoom meeting details will be emailed to you after you register. If you’re not able to attend the training but are interested in becoming an Eagle Watch volunteer, please email rachel@delawarehighlands.org or call 570-226-3164 ext. 2.
Main monitoring areas are Mongaup Reservoir and the Delaware River at Minisink Falls and the Zane Grey boat launch at Lackawaxen. On site, volunteers collect data on wintering eagles and resident pairs. They educate the public in “Eagle Etiquette” and on how to have the best eagle watching experience. Volunteers are also needed to help staff booths, do workshops, and participate in other eagle-related events.
The Conservancy thanks Sullivan County, New York and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for their support of our eagle programming. We also thank the National Park Service – Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River for their partnership and the use of the Zane Grey Museum for our Winter Field Office space.
