Wander the West: Volunteer opportunity at Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge this summer - Wander the West

I hope to be able to do some of this during the summer:

Anyone wishing to volunteer on the Sheldon during the May 31 - Aug 31 period is welcome to join the fence crew on the days of your choice. You will stay with the crew at Little Sheldon.

Me, too! (when I get back from UT)
I get FONW and ONDA updates on my Facebook wall, and when I saw these appear at the same time that I retired I decided that I should get involved in a way like this, in addition to sending an annual check.

BTW: I think this new section you've added -- with Advocacy events, jobs, volunteer opportunities -- is totally great! Good job, DD.

The three day weekends of fence clearing seem like a reasonable choice. Will look into one of those.

I've worked with ONDA a few times removing fence at Hart Mountain and doing wilderness inventory at Owyhee Canyon. Great experiences!

I really should get involved with this this summer...especially since I've enjoyed Sheldon many times over the years...and I'm retired and have the time.
I don't think I'll be ready for the outing this month (camper has work-in-progress), maybe July would work out.

Looking to spend some productive time in the high desert of northern Nevada the week after Labor Day?

ONDA needs help with fence pulling on the Sheldon Wildlife Refuge, September 8 - 11.
