SUMMARY:Education Volunteer Information Session *Virtual*
DESCRIPTION:***THIS IS A VIRTUAL EVENT*** \nThe Clifton Institute provides around 40 field trips per year to around 1\,200 pre-K-12th students from Fauquier County and beyond. During the field trips\, students learn about the natural history of the Northern Virginia piedmont and participate in some of our ongoing research projects\, such as our Native Grassland Restoration or Vernal Pool Monitoring! \nWe rely on an excellent team of volunteers to help run large field trips (sometimes 90 students at a time) alongside Clifton’s small education staff. This virtual program will be an introduction to Clifton’s educational mission\, an overview of what field trips look like\, and an opportunity for curious folks to hear about the volunteer positions available and ask questions. \nIf\, after the online session you feel like you’d be willing to help with our field trip program\, you can attend the in-person training on Friday\, September 20th. All volunteers hoping to help with the education programs must attend the in-person training. Returning volunteers from previous years are encouraged but not required to attend the in-person training and do not need to attend this virtual session. \nA Zoom link will be sent to registered participants the day of the event. \nCost: Free! \nAge: Adults only. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Education Volunteer Training - Fall Field Trips
DESCRIPTION:*This program is for returning Education Volunteers and/or those who attended the September 12th Zoom program.* \nWe will spend the morning going over the procedures for setting up for field trips\, collecting data with children\, and spend time practicing identifications for our two fall field trips: Insect Investigation and Grassland Restoration. Volunteers should be prepared to spend the morning out in the field (a literal field in this instance) and moving up to 1 mile over uneven terrain. This is a chance for new folks to get a feel for what to expect on a field trip (sans kids) and for returners to brush up and help teach those trying it out for the first time! \nCost: Free! \nAge: Adults only. \nWeather policy: Date and time subject to change dependent on weather. Please check your email for updates on the morning of the event. \nCOVID-19 Information: This program will be entirely outdoors (an outside porta potty will be available). Please do not attend if you are experiencing or have experienced in the last two weeks any symptoms associated with COVID-19 (fever\, cough\, shortness of breath\, etc.). \nRegistration is REQUIRED. \nCancellation policy: If you register and can no longer attend this event\, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can open your spot to someone else. \nBy registering for this event\, you are affirming that you have read and agree to our liability release policy. \nWe look forward to seeing you at the Clifton Institute!
