[vernalpool] VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR AMPHIBIAN MONITORING

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR AMPHIBIAN MONITORING
We are seeking volunteers willing to adopt pre-selected routes in
Massachusetts as part of a long-term amphibian monitoring program. The North
American Amphibian Monitoring Program (NAAMP) was created to coordinate
national and local efforts to collect long-term data on amphibian
populations across much of the United States. NAAMP relies on volunteer
monitors as a cost-effective way to gather long-term data over broad
geographic areas. These efforts are coordinated by the U.S. Geological
Survey and a network of Regional Coordinators. The Massachusetts coordinator
is Scott Jackson at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Routes are established by NAAMP based on a national protocol. Monitoring
routes are run four times each year during the amphibian calling season.
These runs are done at night, according to a set protocol, and usually take
1.5 hours to complete plus travel time. The most reliable data are obtained
when they are collected year after year by the same volunteers. Thus it is
our preference to recruit volunteers that imagine that they might stick with
a route for an extended period of time.
