environmental volunteering opportunities

Hi, folks who have environmental volunteering opportunities,
I'm delighted to tell you that Bay Nature Magazine's online calendar now has a clickable map as well as very efficient ways to list opportunities for environmental volunteering, including repeat opportunities (such as work parties on second Saturdays, etc.). Please take a look at http://baynature.org/eventsmap/volunteer. This is new and thin now, but will fill in soon with listings from EBRPD, GGNRA, etc.

There are easy instructions on the Bay Nature web site for listing opportunities. Sue Rosenthal, rosacalifornica.@earthlink.net is working on filling in the map, especially with repeat opportunities (e.g. second Saturday). Please contact her if you have questions.

This seems to me like the framework we need to build on the huge increase in interest in volunteering that I am seeing. (We have been overwhelmed by requests for work parties and, as many of you know, are spending lots of time sending groups elsewhere. F5C paid for the programming, with a Rose Foundation grant). I expect it to replace the clickable map now on our web site, which I will take down in a few months.

I think that having a single place where volunteers can see the wealth of opportunities will benefit us all, as well as Bay Nature, an important resource for all our efforts. Please list your volunteer opportunities with them!
