Duties:

We would like to have a minimum of one team for the Echo Bay Pilot Location. Two teams per area would be even better.
Teams need at least two individuals but may work with three.
Each team must have at least one team member with a disability that creates challenges when they are in nature. Of course support people and animals are welcome.
The teams will work together to use specialized app to assess as many trails as possible in their assigned location. The information collected will build a map that will enable you to explore the accessibility of your new favourite bird site.
Team members will need to be willing to complete their trail work later in the spring.
Note that we can partner up individuals into teams but we also welcome folks who already have partners in mind. All we ask is that all potential team members apply and provide us with their details.

|
|
Skills Expected:
|
At least two members of each team should be comfortable using mobile apps.
Team members will need a phone or tablet so that can use the free apps.
Team members will need to be available for virtual training.

Comments:

Location details vary as you are reviewing trails and pull off car birding sites over a geographic area. The teams will be discovering the accessible nature of each location starting with the "most accessible" looking sites and then as many trails as they are able.
