Welcome to Big Sunday’s 6th Annual Summer List!

As always, we have projects helping all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways. And, as always, whoever you are, whatever you do (and whatever your age!) there is somebody who could use your help.

This summer, we have more than 350 projects helping all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways.

Of course, everyone is working hard to keep up with the changing rules surrounding COVID, while also working to keep everyone healthy and safe.We will update this list weekly through August 1 (at least), so please keep checking back.

If you’ve taken on or completed one of these projects, please email nicolo@bigsunday.org and let us know – that way, we can thank you and direct other people to projects that still need their help!

One other thing: Please follow any other safety protocols of our nonprofit partners. We encourage volunteering, however, please note that you do so at your own risk. Participation confirms you hold Big Sunday and our nonprofit partners harmless to any claims stemming from this activity. (When applicable, you will be asked to sign a waiver.) Thanks for understanding.

Also note that we do not sponsor most of the summer projects on this list. Rather, we put them out to the Big Sunday community and hope someone sees it who wants to help. For sure, feel free to forward, post on social media, copy and print it wherever you think there are nice people who might want to help someone else.

Thanks, as always, for your great generosity of time, talent, spirit and stuff. At Big Sunday, we’re always amazed and moved by how generous so many people can be. Oh, and one more thing – if you enjoy helping during the summer, please remember that Big Sunday has all kinds of great ways to give back throughout the year. (You can’t believe how busy the fall will be!) We’d love your help. Feel free to check us out at www.bigsunday.org or contact info@bigsunday.org to see how you can get involved.

Donate to Support the Bolsa Chica Conservancy

Wetlands are one of many habitats that encompass a watershed and provide a crucial connection between land and the ocean. They also provide functions, known as ecosystem services, that are vital not only to the native and migratory species that inhabit them, but to humans as well. Some of these important functions include: mitigation of climate change by trapping carbon dioxide (carbon sink), serving as a buffer zone during flooding events, maintaining water supplies by replenishing aquifers and filtering water that passes through, and providing essential habitat for plants and wildlife. You can help protect the Bolsa Chica wetlands, its threatened species and their habitats, while at the same time supporting the education of thousands of K-12 students with your donation to the Bolsa Chica Conservancy today. Your support of the Bolsa Chica Conservancy’s STEM-based educational programs on wetland science, watersheds, coastal ecology, environmental sustainability, and habitat restoration will make a world of difference to students in need.

Volunteer to be an Onshore Volunteer for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society

Onshore Volunteers are an essential part of ensuring funding for Sea Shepherd campaigns and carrying Sea Shepherd’s mission to the general public. Their campaign leaders, directors and other staff cannot be everywhere at once, so their OSVs help bring Sea Shepherd’s important message to as many corners of North America as they can. The OSVs arrange participation in events, help to manage and transport merchandise and informational materials, and interact with the public. Without funding and public awareness, Sea Shepherd cannot do the work that they do. They are wholly funded by donations, not corporate sponsors or political interest groups. Their vested interest is in the welfare and preservation of ocean wildlife. There is no other group or movement like Sea Shepherd, and their OSVs must reflect that uniqueness in the effort that they put into their Onshore Volunteer program.

MAPS is a growing network of hundreds of songbird banding stations in North America run by the Institute for Bird Populations (IBP). Long term banding data from MAPS stations help track changes in populations and migration patterns. In 2005, they became part of an international monitoring network that tracks birds in their wintering grounds, MoSI (Monitoreo de Sobrevivencia Invernal) with stations from Mexico to Columbia (and Starr Ranch!).

Volunteer for Songbird Monitoring with the Starr Ranch Sanctuary

Besides bird banding, Starr Ranch manages other songbird monitoring projects that utilize volunteer citizen scientists who are trained by ornithologists. Monitoring usually targets rare species and habitats such as coastal sage scrub but they also use songbirds as indicators of restoration success and climate change. New monitoring projects help them make decisions on which invasive plant species they will work to control. Below are some current songbird monitoring projects that utilize citizen science volunteers: Songbirds of Starr Ranch Coastal Sage Scrub, Effects of Coastal Sage Scrub Restoration on Songbirds, Effects of the Streambank Weed, Periwinkle, on Songbirds, and Songbird Phenology in Coastal Sage Scrub and Riparian Woodlands. If you would like to volunteer or would like to learn more about Starr Ranch songbird monitoring projects, please contact Sandy DeSimone (sdesimone@audubon.org) at 949-858-0309.

Help the Starr Ranch Sanctuary Monitor Other Wildlife with the Starr Ranch Sanctuary

In spring 2004 Starr Ranch Sanctuary trained volunteers to assist their biologists with a long-term study that examined the effects of artichoke thistle control and coastal sage scrub restoration on small mammals (and songbirds). The goal of this project was to produce estimates of small mammal species composition, richness, diversity, and abundance in their paired restoration and pristine coastal sage scrub monitoring sites as well as over a chronosequence of sites of increasing restoration age. Data collected through 2010 indicated a negative effect of artichoke thistle and a positive effect of restoration, so this small mammal study is currently inactive. Monitoring responses to actions or lack of actions remains the key strategy for resource management in a changing climate. Currently Starr Ranch biologists train citizen science volunteers to help them monitor wildlife that serve as good indicators of habitat quality and help them decide which invasive species they will work to control. These are long term projects that will also aid in detection of shifts in wildlife populations that may be associated with a changing climate. Current wildlife monitoring projects include: Aquatic Vertebrates of Bell Creek (fish, reptiles and amphibians), Perennial Pools of Bell Creek, Effects of the Streambank Weed, Periwinkle, on Small Mammals and Invertebrates, and Phenology of Butterflies (and Plants) of Coastal Sage Scrub and Riparian Woodland. If you would like to volunteer with our wildlife monitoring projects, please contact Sandy DeSimone (sdesimone@audubon.org) at 949-858-0309. Visit: https://starrranch.org/volunteer/

Join a Volunteer Fire Watch with the Starr Ranch Sanctuary

In partnership with the Reserve at Rancho Mission Viejo and the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA), Starr Ranch runs a volunteer fire watch. Each year since 2008 volunteers are trained in late summer by the OCFA to deter arson and report behaviors that could lead to fires and to detect fires quickly if they start. Volunteers work in pairs during Red Flag Warnings, periods of high winds and dry conditions, usually in the fall. Lookout locations are at the edges of south Orange County preserved land from Starr Ranch south to the Reserve at Rancho Mission Viejo. Visit: https://starrranch.org/volunteer/

Volunteer to Control Invasive Plants with the Starr Ranch Sanctuary

Starr Ranch “Weed Warriors” help them remove invasive plant species. Invasive species can alter habitats and can have negative effects on wildlife. All of their weed control is non-chemical, and done with hand tools. Currently volunteers help them with periwinkle, English ivy, and Smilo grass removal. If you would like to become a “weed warrior” at Starr Ranch, please contact Sandy DeSimone (sdesimone@audubon.org) at 949-858-0309. Visit: https://starrranch.org/volunteer/

Gather Data on Stream Waters with the Starr Ranch Sanctuary

Since 2003, Starr Ranch biologists have trained volunteers to use a standardized protocol to gather data on stream water quality and the impacts of urban run-off on the physical, chemical, and biological components of water quality in the creeks of Starr Ranch. The results are sent to a statewide database. If you would like to volunteer with the annual stream bioassessment project, please contact Sandy DeSimone (sdesimone@audubon.org) at 949-858-0309.

Help out at the St. Francis Center’s Back-to-School Fair!

The St. Francis Center's Back-to-School Fair will take place on Saturday, August 5th, from 12 - 2:30 pm. Last year with your support, they distributed school supplies to 300 youth from their extremely low-income pantry program families! These families also enjoyed a street fair with carnival-style games, activities, food, and entertainment. Volunteers must be over age 7 and accompanied by an adult. Volunteers assist with distributing school supplies, manning carnival game booths, registering guests, and handing out swag or goodies to the community. Please wear closed-toed shoes. The event will be outside so make sure to bring sun gear and water bottle.

 

The St. Francis center is also looking for and accepting donations for this opportunity! Your sponsorship allows St. Francis Center to purchase school supplies, backpacks, shoes, and other essentials to set youth up for a productive and successful school year. On average, families enrolled in their pantry program make $17,000 a year, so this event helps alleviate the financial burden of the new school year.


They are also accepting in-kind donations of backpack, school supplies, and other essentials. Please email them at donations@sfcla.org to schedule a drop-off.
