Volunteer Forms

To volunteer, if you are not an employee of the state of Colorado you must download the waiver below, fill out completely, scan and e-mail to: greatplainsreptile@gmail.com
Then, please fill out the Registration & Agreement below and submit.  You should receive confirmation along with protocols within 2 weeks.  Please be patient, as the volunteer coordinator is in the field without regular access to e-mail.  We appreciate your time and look forward to having you on board!

    reptile Monitor Volunteer Registration & Agreement

    Please read the information and volunteer requirements before completing the form below.  Required fields are designated with a red asterisk*.  Brief instructions are provided below in popup windows if you hover the cursor over a given question.  Please contact the coordinator if you have questions.  You may be asked to resubmit this form each year to reassess your area of interest, vehicle available, and experience level.  YOU DO NOT NEED PRIOR EXPERIENCE TO VOLUNTEER!


    Note that many public land managers request that we provide information on which volunteers will be where - this would enable a more prepared response in case of an emergency.  You will have access to many more sites if you are willing to contact land managers prior to your survey effort, or if you let the project manager know so we can pass that information along to land managers.
    Below we are requesting you to rank what reptile group(s) you have the most interest in.  You shouldn't have a given group checked off twice (e.g., you wouldn't check "Lizards" in both the Primary and Tertiary lists).  If you are completely uninterested in a group, you don't have to check that group on any of the lists below.
Eastern Collared Lizards can be found in rocky terrain throughout the southern Great Plains.  This gravid female (left) is catching some sun on Comanche National Grassland, Colorado.
