You can become a force for the conservation for the boreal toad, starting today. Simply follow the steps below:

1. Review the Training - Use this to get started if you didn't attend the training or could only watch part of it. It's also a great resource to refer to as needed throughout the project.

2. Complete the Volunteer Form - Before participating in this project, fill out our online Conservation Field Technician Volunteer Application Form.

3. Sign Up for a Field Visit - Once you've filled out the form, please visit our spreadsheets and choose which way(s) you'd like to participate:

Don't forget to carefully read the notes at the top of the page, as they'll give you information on what to expect.

4. If You're Doing Individual Surveys, Print Field Forms and Protocol Materials - Those doing individual surveys will want to print field forms and a cheat sheet to take with you on site visits. Volunteers on group trips will have these materials provided.

5. Optional Toad Buckets for Individual Surveys: If you'd like to gather water measurements, you can pick up field equipment from the Guest Services office at the front of Hogle Zoo—just ask to check out a toad bucket. You can check out or check in equipment from Monday-Sunday, 9am-1pm (you may keep the buckets for a few days, but please try to check them back in for other volunteers to use).

Those doing group field trips will have these materials provided.
