The Nature Sounds Society is helping Yosemite National Park with its
soundscape program. Two things are upcoming:
The park has accumulated recordings by automated devices, and needs
help identifying what the recordings contain. In connection with
this, the Natural Sounds Program Center (Ft. Collins, CO) is planning
to hold a training session in San Francisco in February. Details to
follow, but I believe it will be training in using the Soundscape
program on Palms. Details to follow.
Yosemite is offering free lodging (tent cabins in White Wolf area) to
recordists who want to visit the park this summer and help out. Stays
as short as a weekend are ok, but if you want to stay for a week or
two, or more, you'd be most welcome. Volunteer assignments might
include placement and maintenance of automated recording stations,
and documentation of specific locations or species.
I'll be meeting with resources chief Joe Meyer up there on Jan. 21,
and will post more information after that.
Cross-posted to nature recordists and NSS announce list, sorry if you
get dupes.
