Gift shop assistance
o
Gift Shop and BSBO Office Assistance
Meet people from all over the world, help BSBO do all the
“behind-the-scenes” work that is so vital to the Observatory’s
success. Answer the phone (that thing NEVER stops ringing these
days!), greet customers in the gift shop, ring up sales, interact
with visitors and answer questions.
o Data entry and clerical work
Many of our programs and projects require hundreds of hours of data
entry and clerical work. The job might not be all that exciting, but
it’s an integral part of research. We REALLY appreciate the people
who help us out with this task ---like Tracy Marr, for example! :
)
o Maintenance
Mowing grass, keeping the walking trail clear of brush and litter,
adopt-a-highway cleanup days, cleaning gutters, shoveling snow,
maintaining our nest boxes for Eastern Bluebirds and Tree Swallows.
You know, helping BSBO look beee-u-tee-ful!
o Passerine Banding Station
Volunteers needed 7 days per week during spring and fall migration.
The spring season runs from mid-April to early June and the fall
season is from mid August to mid-October. **Volunteers must attend
a mandatory training workshop to participate in this project, which
is scheduled in April for the 2012th season.
o BSBO Booth/Display
We are looking for volunteers to help work our booth and portable
store at various festivals and events. It’s a lot of fun and it
really helps spread the BSBO message!
