The Cape Cod Bird Club relies on the generosity and support of its members. Some members are willing to take leadership positions and serve on the Board of Directors. Some members would rather help out “in the field” and volunteer to lead walks. We also have various opportunities for members to help out on specific committees or in roles that can range from one-time efforts to once-a-year efforts to longer term support.
Here are the current Volunteer Opportunities we have. If you would like to help, or have any questions or suggestions, please send an email to info@capecodbirdclub.org.

Mass Audubon at Wellfleet Bay
Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife center has a number of ongoing volunteer and Citizen Science opportunities including the ongoing Wellfleet Bay Coastal Waterbird Program and the Cape Cod Osprey Project.
The return of the osprey is one of the greatest conservation stories of the last 30 years. In the early 1970s there were as few as 10 nesting pairs of these fish-eating birds of prey in Massachusetts. Now that number is over 400 pairs statewide. Cape Cod has also seen resurgence with an estimated 50 pairs now nesting on Cape Cod. Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is developing the Osprey Project, a project to monitor nesting ospreys and their productivity on the mid and lower Cape. Volunteers are needed to assist with osprey observations. Click here for more information
