This field training is mandatory for all new volunteers, returning volunteers are welcome as well! During training, we will go over the protocols for monarch monitoring and new volunteers will receive relevant materials and information.

New This Year - Landscape

New this year, the Couchiching Conservancy is utilizing a new tool for volunteers to use while in the field for data collection and navigation! If you do not have an account with landscape please contact us and we will get that sorted out. Using landscape is not mandatory. If you'd prefer to record data in the field on traditional paper forms, let us know and we will get those out to you promptly.
