Spring Workshop I – February 25th, 2012
Spring Workshop II – March 3rd, 2012

Current volunteers will receive email updates with times and location for the workshops.

Others who are interested in joining the RINS Project should click on the “Volunteer” link on the main menu and fill out the form. We will then be in contact with you to get you prepared for the workshops! 

A press release from RINS and the BLM are posted on the Press Kit page.

Check out the About section to learn about the history, awards, and view the press releases from the RINS Organization. The volunteer section gives information about volunteering and has an easy to use form to get volunteers ready to go quicker. The news and events section is a new feature that runs as a weblog with updates and upcoming events from RINS. The last section, The Project, was the last section to be developed for the new website. It contains new information and figures about the RINS Project and what the organization does. It also has a new section for contributions and donations for the RINS Organization. It also contains links for RINS volunteers.

Thank you all for your patience with this project as we’ve been evolving to this new format. We wanted to roll out a new look for the transformation of the RINS Project to a full 501 (c)(3) non-profit. Hopefully the new look is pleasing to look at and easy to navigate with a lot of valuable information. The website runs the best with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, while Safari and Internet Explorer can be slower and not display things correctly.

In addition we’ve launched a revamped “RINS Store” with cool gear such as shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, thermoses, iPhone cases, and more! Check it out at Cafepress.com/RINSUtah

Again, thank you all for your patience and support and visit the website often!

One of the important aspects of the data RINS volunteers collects is that of vegetation in the monitored areas. This data is crucial in learning about the habitat and ecology that the raptors live in day-to-day. It also aids in land management decisions that RINS helps make.

Every year a Plant I.D. Field Trip is scheduled in order to help teach RINS volunteers the different plants and vegetation in the monitored areas. The I.D. Field Trip this year will be on:

May 7th, 2011

Mark your calendars RINS volunteers! See you then!
