     VOLUNTEER GUARDIANS NEEDED 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Island Nature Trust is interested in getting volunteers who will 
     
     visit one or more natural areas on a regular basis to document any activity that 
     
     occurs.This would include sightings of nesting or migrating birds as well as 
     
     passers-through.0ther activity such as human use of the area should be noted. 
     
    

    
     For many of the sites, we have an extensive list of flora but for 
     
     others there is little information as yet. Anyone who is interested in documenting 
     
     the natural features of a natural area or in reporting to the Trust the human 
     
     activity in the area should contact Diane Griffin at 892-9127.
