Filling out this form indicates your interest in — but is not a commitment to — participating in field-based crayfish monitoring work in the summer and/or early fall of 2022 in the Tryon Creek watershed. Monitoring volunteer events will be jointly hosted by Kyla Schmitt (UO '25) and the Tryon Creek Watershed Council.

Physical nature of volunteer responsibilities: Crayfish surveys will be conducted at dusk and necessitate transporting gear (possibly up to 25 lbs) while hiking in and out (after dark) from designated survey sites (for example, near bridge crossings in the Tryon Creek State Natural Area). They will also involve accessing the creek (carefully moving up or down hill off-trail), wading, using a dip net, and bending frequently during surveys.

I am comfortable/physically able to participate in this work.

I have some concerns or questions regarding details or accommodations about the physical nature of this work.

Scheduling: Surveys will be held at dusk, 4-8 nights per month (June through September), and possibly clustered on weekends. Does this fit with your availability? How frequently would you be interested in joining surveys? (As this is a new type of volunteer opportunity, we are asking this to learn, for example, whether there are 2 people who'd like to come out every night possible, or 20 people who only want to come out once!)

Experience: Do you have experience working with crayfish, other invertebrates, in-stream surveys, habitat data (water quality, etc.), and/or in community science generally? Experience isn't required; this will inform our planning.

If you are a student or other person looking to build career-related skills, what is your area of focus/what can we help you get out of this volunteer experience?

How did you find out about this volunteer opportunity?

Your phone number, if you're comfortable with us calling to connect further

Do you have questions for us? (And/or) other information we should know?
