Opportunity Details
Volunteers are needed on both weekdays and weekends to help the Rye Nature Center monitor the endangered American Eel as it migrates through the Blind Brook from the Atlantic Ocean. From March to June, a team of staff and volunteers will check nets during low tide to count, weigh, and re-release eels. (Watch this short video to learn more about this process!)
This is a great opportunity for volunteers to build new skills and learn about local conservation efforts. All volunteers will be provided with training, supplies (including waders and wading gloves), and an opportunity to select the dates they are available. Note: volunteers must be prepared to be outdoors (regardless of weather), wear waders, and stand in cold water for short periods of time. Express interest below!
Age Minimum (with Adult): 8+, Minimum Age:15+
