Please note that, while some of the questions below may feel a bit daunting to some, a lack of birding or banding experience will not qualify or disqualify you as a volunteer at Rocky Point. We value your interest in us and will use the information to try and balance our volunteer strength throughout the season. Note also, that the information you submit is kept confidential and will not be shared with other organizations. Please include any observations on the form itself in the "comments" section near the bottom.

Thank you for your interest in Rocky Point Bird Observatory.

 

Please be advised we require all potential volunteers to be familiar with a few important issues, some of which are peculiar to our location on Department of National Defence land, in particular our Fire Safety Policy and Procedures. Before filling out the application, please be sure you have read the document "What Every RPBO Volunteer Needs to Know".

I have read and agree with the documents "What Every RPBO Volunteer Needs to Know" and "RPBO Fire Safety Policy and Procedures"
