Newsletter: Our monthly e-newsletter, The Limpkin Times, is always looking for news. Content creation could include fun articles, Bird of the month, other events occurring with National Audubon. This content would then be provided to the newsletter editor. Are you experienced with Constant Contact or interested in learning how to use it to develop and email newsletters? We will provide training if you would like to take on that task.

Audubon Ambassadors needed! Represent Apalachee Audubon manning the Apalachee Audubon booth at public outreach events, festivals, events, and festivals. Have a fun time interacting with the public, while providing valuable education about birds and the environment. Experience or prior training is not necessary, and all materials/information provided.

Publicity: If you have experience in public relations or communications and would like to join our communications team to help promote our chapter and its activities, we’d love to have your assistance and/or advice. These activities would include talking to local businesses, and news to endorse our events; help organize fundraisers and social media campaigns. We need bloggers!

Lake Elberta Park: We are seeking a volunteer to be a liaison with the City of Tallahassee, coordinating conservation activities such as trash clean-ups and invasive plant removals. The liaison will also help us monitor our Wood Duck and Eastern Bluebird nest boxes, and Purple Martin gourd arrays. We are also searching for volunteers to oversee or assist with the maintenance of these bird nesting activities.

Hospitality help needed! At our in-person monthly program meetings, we hope to provide the opportunity for members to get together and socialize a bit before the start of the program. Apalachee Audubon offers coffee and treats, as well as pizza parties with our live-streamed programs, to our guests, and we are searching for someone to help plan the snacks and beverages served during social events. Door prizes are also part of these events, so assistance for these is needed.

Coastal Bird Stewards Needed! Audubon Florida needs bird stewards on St. George Island weekends and holidays through August. This is especially important to monitor nests after storms. If you would be willing to help with a shift or two, please contact Collette (Col) Lauzau at Collette.lauzau@audubon.org.
