Let's volunteer at "Burakan Mates"
You can participate without knowing anything about birds
Burakan Mates is a group that manages "Blatto(Trans=Casual) Observation walking". Members are people who want to know about the creatures include wild birds of Yatsu Higata, and people who have a hobby of bird watching.
At the observation session, members of Burakan Mates share various roles, observing wild birds around Yatsu Higata, explaining how to handle binoculars, and explaining the wild birds that can be seen in Yatsu Higata every season. The roles to be shared are not limited to those that require knowledge of wild birds. If you don't know wild birds, don't worry, we welcome you, so please feel free to join us if you are interested.
In addition, on the 4th Saturday, we hold a study session for members, Self "Buratto" Walking and Self "Buratto" Walking lesson which also serves as a preview of the next week's observation session, in an effort to improve the level of the observation session and the members themselves.
