Kait has generously shared her management tools with us for the next event.
Volunteer Shift Schedule | Sagehen BioBlitz Guide
From Kaitlin:
Here is some info for a BioBlitz. Its a lot of work, but also a ton of fun. I recommend reading through items here. http://www.inaturalist.org/pages/bioblitz+guide I relied heavily on the Nerds for Nature Guide and have attached their 10 Step Guide with modifications made for the 2015 Sagehen Blitz in green print. Also attached is the Volunteer Shift Schedule. The Sagehen Blitz was a highly managed event because it was held at a Field Station, but as you will see by looking at other Blitzs, there are a variety of formats. (I happened to use Nat Geo's Blitz at Hawaii's Volcano National Park as a template.) It is also worth noting that the BioBlitz Guide doesn't discuss liability etc.. which is something you should discuss with whoever you partner with to do a Blitz.Most groups or agencies that work with volunteers in the field have procedures in place for you to follow.I hope this is helpful!
