We depend 100% on our volunteers to come out with us and have a great time along with the students. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and range in age from 22 to 78 years old. All that we ask of volunteers is that they are willing to come out, enjoy the outdoors and share their stories with our students.

The students do most of the tasks such as cooking and cleaning so volunteers are really there to supervise and be mentors. We provide all of the gear and food for the weekend so all you have to bring are your personal clothes and an open mind. Some of our volunteers have years of experience in the outdoors and some have never slept in a tent. We are flexible and want to work with you to make sure you have a great time giving back to the community. Our volunteers often tell us that they grow just as much as the students while on our trips.

The dream is to make wildlife monitoring accessible to everyone by placing it online allowing with anyone interest to participate in conservation efforts.

Therefore OBBIO also seeks to establish partnerships with individuals, businesses and institutions wishing to conduct online monitoring of fauna and flora in other regions of the country. Our videos have been used on the Discovery Channel and are regularly published on our YouTube channel.
