Wetland Mapping Verification Campout 10/3-10/5/2024
Join us for an upcoming campout in the Riverside area! No experience required!
Campouts allow us to collect much more data than we’re able to do in a single field day with the added fun of hanging out with fellow Barkers at camp afterwards! Data collected by Bark volunteers allows us to verify wetland locations and types, information we can then use to update the National Wetland Inventory.
Carpools will be organized, and a caravan will head to the campsite on the first day. Can’t join us for the whole campout? No problem. Register and let us know what day(s) we should expect you! Want to drive yourself? Great! We will send out campsite coordinates when the location is finalized.
Each day will go something like this…
Wake up and eat breakfast, gather gear, and whatever else you need to prepare for a day of surveying.
Circle up in camp to discuss the plan for the day, form groups, and a land acknowledgement. Then, leave camp with our groups and head to our survey locations.
Groups will meet back at camp in the afternoon to share our findings, hang out, swim, relax, eat dinner, and sleep.
