Hi All,
It takes work to maintain habitat for the birds we love - marsh birds, shorebirds, and waterfowl. You can volunteer.
Here’s a chance to help the Montezuma Wetlands Complex by being in the marshes among the birds while removing invasive Water Chestnut.
Work is 9am to 1pm, currently scheduled in the Refuge on
Wed 6/11, Sat 6/14, Wed 6/18, Wed 6/25, Sat 6/28, Wed 7/02, Wed 7/09, Sat 7/12,
Wed 8/06 & Sat 809
and at the MAC/DEC on Wed 7/16, Sat 7/19, & Wed 7/23.

> Hi Dave,

> Last August on Discord, you asked "How many birders would volunteer how many hours in June to be in a canoe in Knox-Marsellus closer to marsh birds (or maybe only disturbing them) while filling the canoe with Water Chestnut?" I'm assuming this is not a rhetorical question and am asking you to help recruit people, including birders, to help pull water chestnut in our marshes so we can continue to provide high quality habitat. Our MARSH! schedule for water chestnut pulling is attached, but I'd be happy to add additional volunteer days if none of those dates work for people.
