Wildlife Monitoring Training

 

Friends of the Chicago River is restoring habitat for three river-dependent species and we need your help to monitor them!  Working with the Forest Preserves of Cook County on this three-year Wildlife Habitat project, Friends identified bats, turtles, and osprey as key species in our watershed that would benefit from our help. 

 

Beginning in April, we are conducting our first Volunteer Wildlife Monitoring Trainings.  Our habitats are located in Glencoe, Skokie, Winnetka, Northfield, and Morton Grove.  More sites will be added this spring in the Calumet and no experience is needed!  Volunteers only need to attend one of these trainings.  

Location:
Matthew Bieszczat Volunteer Resource Center
6100 N. Central Avenue
Chicago, IL 60646

These trainings will provide all of the necessary information and expectations for interested volunteers.  We are asking volunteers to commit to one or more habitat locations and monitor at least eight times during the year.  Please contact Sean Moloney to register: smoloney@chicagoriver.org.
