Critter Cam Field Day Opportunity
March 5, 2019 - March 7, 2019
Critter Cam Field Day is Tuesday, March 5th and Thursday, March 7th at Catalina State Park! And we need your help!
Last year the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection (CSDP) co-hosted our first Critter Cams for Kids Field Day with Manzanita Elementary School. And it was a huge success!

The four-week curriculum built for this project continues to provide kids with a deeper foundation of knowledge about wildlife linkages and habitat fragmentation, as they help sort wildlife camera photos from our cameras near the Oracle Road wildlife crossings and attend a Field Day experience.
This year, the project has expanded district-wide.
We need volunteers to join us for our 2019 Critter Cam Field Day event, serving 4 schools, and 400 students, over 2 days. Participating partners include Catalina Foothills School District, Arizona Game and Fish Department, Tucson Audubon, and Catalina State Park, among others.
As a Desert Guide volunteer you would represent CSDP and interact with groups of 4th grade students by leading or assisting with an activity station, including: nature walk and camera guides, using binoculars and spotting scopes, wildlife tracks, camouflage painting, set up and take down, and other activities.
We need volunteers who can cover one or more of the following shifts:
Morning, Tuesday, March 5th, 8am to 12pm
Afternoon, Tuesday, March 5th, 11am to 3pm
Morning, Thursday, March 7th, 8am to 12pm
Afternoon, Thursday, March 7th, 11am to 3pm
