What is a Wildlife Master?
Wildlife Masters are highly trained volunteers who assist Summit County residents in making informed decisions on managing wildlife conflicts by providing unbiased, research-based information on a wide variety of wildlife issues. If you would like to talk to a Wildlife Master about a wildlife problem, or just want information on a wildlife subject, call the Wildlife Master Consumer Information line at 970-668-2987. A Wildlife Master volunteer will return your call as soon as possible.
Become a Wildlife Master!
Volunteers in the Wildlife Master Program must attend a two-day annual training workshop prior to answering calls. There is a $70.00 fee to attend the training ($32 for returning volunteers). Participants will receive a resource notebook, a CD-ROM of the notebook, lunches, snacks and instruction from several dynamic speakers. In return, after the annual training, new volunteers agree to complete two to three weeks of phone service during the course of the year. Volunteers sign up for one week at a time to field questions and can call in to retrieve messages from any location.
A two-day annual training is held each year in the early spring. In addition to the annual training, volunteers must complete two advanced trainings per year. Opportunities for advanced training abound - as long as the activity is wildlife-related, educational in nature and approved by the Wildlife Master Coordinator, it may be considered advanced training. Examples include attending a wildlife workshop, writing a wildlife-related article for a newsletter or newspaper, or speaking to a homeowners association about wildlife concerns.
