Wildathon 2008 Info Karsten Rist will chair this year's Wildathon which is one of NHAS's major annual fund raising events for conservation and protection of habitat. Beginning in mid to late April and running through mid May, teams count species (birds, plants, reptiles or any other) for a 24 hour period, and ask that supporters make pledges for their efforts. The pledge form is included in this newsletter. If you would like to contribute, be a team leader or member, or otherwise participate, please contact either Tom or Marsha. The ways in many choose to participate are: 1. Make a financial contribution. Contributing is one of the best ways to protect important bird and wildlife habitat here in Chapel Hill (Mason Farm) and at the Coast (Audubon Coast Islands Sanctuary). 2. Lead a team and/or join a team. The Wildathon is a day in April or May where teams go out to identify and, more importantly, count bird, plant, reptile and amphibian, insect, and/or other species. Usually, donations are based on the number of species counted. You do not have to be experienced to be on a team. 3. Help bring in donations. Beyond making a donation yourself, participants can help raise money by soliciting donations on behalf of their team. 4. Help with publicity. Bring your creative energy for making posters, fliers or otherwise getting the word out for support of the Wildathon 2008. Contributions are tax deductible and your participation will be noted in our bi-monthly newsletter and on our website. Here is the pledge form(pdf format).
