Online webinar and call-in options for training

Dear volunteers,

We are looking forward to talking with you at the beach-nesting bird volunteer trainings on March 11th and 14th.  American Oystercatchers arrived in CT last week, and the first Piping Plover was observed on Monday! We can definitely use your help stewarding these awesome birds this summer. At the same time we recognize and understand that some folks may be nervous about attending an event given growing concerns about COVID-19. For that reason, we will be presenting tomorrow night and on Saturday both in person and via webinar.

If you would prefer to participate from home, here is how to do it:
1)      Five to ten minutes before the training begins, click on the following link: https://audubon.zoom.us/j/9508221410. A window will pop up that says Launch Application, click on “open link”.
2)      When the application opens, you can select to join by computer audio or by phone. To join by phone, call 1-646-876-9923, then enter 950-822-1410#.
3)      At the bottom of the application, you will see the chat symbol. Click on the chat symbol and type your name so that we know who is participating via webinar. You will be muted during the presentation but can ask questions via the chat box which we will be monitoring and at the end of the presentation.

We will be emailing out the required forms to everyone, and if you provide your mailing address, we can have lanyards with badges mailed to you.

Please note, if you are feeling at all under the weather, we would ask that you participate via the webinar.
 
Thank you!
