Volunteers:

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service New York Field Office is always looking for volunteers. Please contact us if you are interested in finding out more about our partnerships. You can also search for National volunteering opportunities here.

Individuals:

Nelson Babcock is a volunteer for the New York Field Office. He has designed and constructed common tern nesting platforms for the St. Lawrence River, helped investigate contamination in common loons and fish, and volunteered on various assignments on National Wildlife Refuges in our region. He has also volunteered for other offices such as Back Bay in Virginia.
