[va-richmond-general] Volunteer Days with IBA

Volunteer Days with the Virginia IBA Program



Recently, Toyota Corporation gave the National Audubon Society a grant to begin 
the TogetherGreen Program.  Please volunteer with us on Saturday, September 
27th, 2008 at one of three Virginia Important Bird Areas:

1) Appalachian National Scenic Trail, Trumbo Hollow, to protect this IBA from 
Invasive Nonnative Plants, 10 - 4.

2) James River National Wildlife Refuge, Prince George County, Return to Nature 
Project. Collection of man-made materials from eleven acres of undulating 
forests and marshy shoreline adjacent to Powell Creek, 9 a m. - 1 p.m.

3) Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge - replace covers on tree 
tubes at Wellford and Tayloe tracts to prevent entrapment and mortality of 
birds. 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.

 

TogetherGreen (www.togethergreen.org) is a new Audubon conservation initiative 
made possible by funding and assistance by Toyota, and sponsored and organized 
by the Virginia Important Bird Areas (IBA) program, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service, and the National Park Service. This coordinated kick-off effort is 
being synchronized to celebrate National Public Lands Day, the nation's largest 
hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the public lands Americans 
enjoy. You must register to take part, so interested volunteers, please contact 
Mary-Stuart Torbeck at VAIBAVolunteerDays@xxxxxxxxx to get more information and 
to register.

Come be a part of something truly big that will help conserve birds across our 
State, and our Nation, on September 27, 2008!
