Hello Volunteer!
Spring is springing up all around us and volunteer needs are ramping up as we prepare for Spring Migration. We've got lots of ways for you to get involved all around Houston. Check them out below - I hope you can find a meaningful way to contribute!

High Island, High Island, High Island! 

There's a LOT happening at High Island! Come help us improve our sanctuaries here for both our migratory birds and our visitors. With so much going on there's ways for birders of all skill levels to get involved!

Edith L. Moore Sanctuary Stewards

Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary, Memorial 

Every Saturday and Sunday, 3 hour shifts

The secret is out! The people of greater Houston have found our beloved nature sanctuary and our quiet little walk in the woods has become a bit of a local destination. New visitors aren't familiar with the difference between a nature sanctuary and a public park, so we are looking for volunteers who believe in our mission and enjoy interacting with the public, who can connect with these first-timers and teach them what it means to enjoy nature while being a good steward of the habitat.

Bolivar Flats Beach Clean-up
Bolivar Flats, Bolivar Peninsula 
Saturday, March 21st, 9am-noon
Come help Houston Audubon clean up the beach! Not only will this activity reduce the amount of plastics that our shorebirds and wildlife are exposed to, but clean-ups provide great opportunities to witness the wildlife of Bolivar, the activity on the ship channel, and experience hands-on conservation. All ages are welcome. We hope you can join us!
Sign up here, and tell your friends! We need as many volunteers as we can get!
Want to help out Houston Audubon, but don't have any extra time on your hands? Here's an  easy way to support our efforts. When you're out and about at restaurants, cafes, community centers, etc., look and see if there's a card rack or bulletin board. When you see one just send me the name of the business and location and we will know where we can reach people in the local community!
Thank you for taking the time to read this email, and thank you as always for supporting Houston Audubon! 

With Gratitude,
