Special Alert: Point Blue Conservation Science's Petaluma Headquarters and Palomarin Field Station in Bolinas will be closed to the public starting March 13th until further notice due to COVID-19 out of concern for the health and safety of our staff as well as the public. These closures and other safety precautions around COVID-19 affect some of our volunteer opportunities as noted below.
We wish you all well during these challenging times and encourage you to stay abreast of the latest developments while also taking breaks in nature to observe birds and other wildlife, appreciate plants, and stay connected and grounded.
Skilled volunteers make it possible for Point Blue to learn about the habitat needs of shorebirds, grow plants for our climate-smart habitat restorations, and put on events that engage partners and supporters of our conservation work.
Our volunteer positions require some skill or experience, but most provide additional training in skills needed to perform the citizen scientist or volunteer role. Explore options we offer below for volunteer and citizen science involvement in our work.
If you possess a skill or have an interest that you think could contribute to the work we do outside of what we've listed, feel free to contact us and let us know what you have in mind.
