The projects and examples below are some of self-paced volunteer opportunities that can be done at (almost) anytime. These volunteer opportunities are not typically communicated widely via email or through classroom means. These can be helpful if you have a busy schedule or if you're looking for a project at your own pace. For more information, please inquire with chapter leadership or at one of the classes. Volunteer time that can be earned with participation in the following activities.
Southeast Idaho | Build/Install Nesting Boxes 🔨
Nesting boxes can be a vital resource to conserving the native bird species around the area. Building and installing nesting boxes can be a rewarding way to give back to our local birds, and earn some volunteer time along the way. HDMN Board Member Duane Dyer has donated these helpful instructions to get started on building bird houses.
Build year round, install before breeding seasons
