New York state offers training for Amphibian Migrations volunteers - The Daily Freeman

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. — The state Department of Environmental Conservation's Hudson River Estuary Program will host training for volunteers in the Amphibian Migrations and Road Crossings project Thursday, Feb. 7.

The training will be from 6 to 8 p.m. at the agency's Region 3 office, 21 South Putt Corners Road. The workshop is free, but space is limited and registration is required. To register, visit www.surveymonkey.com/r/AMRC_2019_VolunteerTraining.

This optional training will review amphibian identification and provide volunteer guidance on data collection methods and safety measures. In addition, there will be a hands-on activity and a chance to meet other volunteers. In 2018, volunteers counted more than 2,800 amphibians and helped at least 1,771 cross roads during the migration. 

The training is for new volunteers, as well as anyone needing to refresh or refine their skills.
