Volunteer: Guzzler Inspections

Volunteers performing guzzler inspections will check the general condition and potential maintenance needs at guzzlers. The goal of this program is to capitalize on volunteers’ existing scouting or camping trips to help complete annual maintenance inspections and inform NDOW’s work schedule. When out this summer, if your travels take you near a guzzler, please take a few moments to complete an inspection report. The Guzzler Inspection Checklist can be found here. Inspections are done at the volunteer's convenience. 


Contact your regional volunteer coordinator to receive a guzzler inspection form.
