We are seeking two volunteer Preserve Stewards each Saturday and Sunday in May to support operations at MOCR. These volunteers will provide public engagement support in the gateway property using the welcome booth, beginning at 9:45 a.m. each day.
Welcome Booth Preserve Stewards –
shifts begin at 15 minutes to the hour.
We need two Preserve Stewards serving
in the gateway property to respond to visitor questions, help them obtain
butterfly passes when needed, and ensure guests learn how to appropriately
enjoy the trails found in the Habitat Protection Zone.
Welcome Booth Preserve Stewards shifts
are from 9:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. All supporting materials needed for this role will be staged each
morning at the central gathering area. Volunteers are expected to set up the
welcome booth, engage guests to the preserve, keep track of visitor
interactions using the welcome booth end of day form, and enter all data into
the Survey123 app at the end of their shift. Volunteers will also
take down all welcome booth items at the end of their shift and hand off to
field staff. Please mention you served in the welcome booth in your hours report
and select project name ‘Habitat Protection Team’.
Volunteers will be supported by staff supplying the welcome booth kit, table, antler and OSA devices. These items will be staged at the central gathering area. Inside the welcome booth kit will be three patrol hip-bags each containing an OSA wifi-enabled device, QR code for obtaining a butterfly pass, paper passes and receipts, contact info for field staff, a pen and small notebook. When you have completed your patrol, please make sure you have submitted all observations, you have turned off the OSA device, and return the bag to the OSA Field tech stationed at the preserve so that they can return it to the knack box to be charged. VET’s staff will not be present on weekdays, but there will be field staff on site for support should the need arise.
Volunteers at Máyyan 'Ooyákma should arrive with OSA branded volunteer shirt or orange vest, nametag, appropriate layers, sun protection, and plenty of snacks and water for their shift.
Please reach out to Teri Rogoway at trogoway@openspaceauthority.org if you have any additional questions about this role.
