Volunteer voices

“We travel in from all walks of life, each of us toting our personal histories that, for many of us, do not relate directly to field biology. Then, within hours of arrival we are propelled into the great outdoors and viola…research with wild creatures of the earth. It is grand.
“Watching the otters resting in the twilight with only the sounds of the night was wonderful. Their silhouettes floating in the water looked like mini gondolas. The ease in which sea otters move in the water is pure poetry in motion.”
