This station is a fantastic place for budding bio/enviro/ornithology undergrads to see a conservation science project up close and contribute to it. You will have a great time out there counting nests & eggs with a bunch of great volunteers and tens of thousands of seabirds on just a few acres in the Atlantic.
The research team leader needs more volunteers in late June and all of July for banding chicks.
