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!
