Training:
For the winter of 2023, we plan to provide a virtual training option for new volunteers, and for returning volunteers who want to brush up on some gray whale facts. We will offer video resources and hold at least one virtual Q & A Sessions with Oregon State Park staff and other marine mammal experts.
Stay tuned for a Spring 2024 training opportunity. Any opportunity will be announced through email correspondence when the details have been finalized. Please ensure you are signed up on our mailing list by contacting Whale.Watching@oprd.oregon.gov to gain access to this information when it becomes available.
If you would like to review previous training materials and videos, please view our video resource page here: https://orwhalewatch.org/volunteer-video-resources-2/.
Returning volunteers are encouraged, but not required to attend a training session.
