USA / WorkingAbroad Projects
Volunteers can join this programme and take part in conservation work in Nevada involving a Cavity-Nesting Bird Habitat Improvement Project.
Spend your summer volunteering and camping in some of the most beautiful wilderness locales in the American West. All volunteers will be based out of Reno, Nevada and will spend their time in the field on a habitat improvement project that encompasses the entire state of Nevada.
Project Details:
Volunteers are needed to help with the restoration of cavity-nesting songbird habitats by removing mining claim posts throughout the state of Nevada. By pulling those abandoned posts volunteers will protect songbirds, reptiles, and small mammals from injuries and will restore nesting, foraging and migratory wildlife habitats for dozens of native wildlife species across the state.
