Volunteer days

Cleanup coordination

A cleanup falls apart on two questions: who covers what, and what did we actually pick up. The grid below cuts Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge into segments small enough to hand to one team, drawn from the same wildlife records the Nature page counts — so the ground people already walk is the ground that gets divided. Segments where a threatened species has been recorded are flagged rather than skipped.

Clearing all 24 segments is 35 h 22 min of team time. In one 3-hour session that needs 12 teams (about 48 people); with the 4 teams planned here, each one is out for 9 h 16 min.

1 segment flagged sensitive (threatened species recorded there) — walk it slowly, stay on the path. Split by longest-processing-time-first; teams finish within 34 min of each other. Durations assume a 12 m sweep at 20 m/min and are planning estimates, not measurements.

Tally sheet

Count what comes off each segment. Everything stays on this device — no account, no upload, and no field anywhere for a volunteer's name. Read the totals out at the end of the day and they can be entered as a litterTally record in the community data.

Select a segment on the map to count what came off it.
