Volunteer

Meet new people, and help birds

Be a part of our organization’s transformation! We are a grassroots group that is fueled by the energy of people who love and care about birds. Whether you have a little time to spare or would like to become part of our team, you can find an opportunity here:

  • Rat Contraceptive Project: Work with a team to monitor rat contraceptive containers in Lincoln Park, Chicago.

    The team will cover the four-block walk once every two weeks, checking two containers per block. Volunteers will log consumption and refill containers. The entire route should take 1-2 hours to cover. You will go with a partner every month or two. There will be mandatory training. The day is flexible according to your needs.

  • Bird Outing leader or co-leader: Attend our field trips and help participants enjoy them. We will provide training to interested new field trip leaders.

  • Habitat restoration: Improve bird habitat at our workdays at Camp Pine. See our Volunteer Events for details.
