LNT (Leave No Trace) Volunteer Instructions
Lost & Found Hero
As a Lost & Found hero, you will make the rounds to the major theme camps to collect items lost at the camp and bring them to the Lost & Found. Along the way, you should feel confident proclaiming good LNT practices, picking up any MOOP you encounter, and encouraging other Fireflies to do the same. Also spread the word about the location of the Lost & Found -- it is your mission to ensure all that Lost Things are Found! And if you see any labeled items feel free to try to return them to their owners!
To start your shift, come to MOMM (aka the Museum of Modern MOOP, aka the event Lost & Found), which is just up the path from the upper parking portos. If there isn't an LNT lead there at the time, you'll find instructions, a volunteer shift sign-in book, and instructions for whom to contact with any questions.
Shifts are 2-4 pm Monday through Saturday and 9-11 am on Sunday (Exodus).
Lost & Found Barker & Breakdown
Remind passersby to check the Lost & Found for any missing items during Exodus! Also help to organize and pack up unclaimed items and break down the Lost & Found infrastructure to get handed off to DPW for storage.

This shift is 11 am-1 pm on Sunday (Exodus).
Field Sweep Crew
On the final day of the event, volunteers will gather to do a line sweep of the Bug Burn Field. Be sure to coordinate with your own camp to ensure you can meet your obligations both to camp breakdown and to the field sweep.
Meet at the top of the bug field, near where the coffee table is during the event.
This shift is 2:30-4:30 pm on Sunday (Exodus).
LNT Land Sweep Crew
This is LNT's late crew shift, and it is, first off, awesome. You will be heralded as a champion, included in the Lore of Future Fireflies...or at the very least loved by your campmates. Land sweep volunteers stay an extra day on the land to conduct a Firefly-wide MOOP sweep. We sing, we are merry, we work hard, and we go home tired but laughing. Generally LNT land sweep is finished by 2 or 3 pm.
This is a full-day LNT late crew shift that takes place the day after exodus (Monday).
Field Sweep Leader (Exodus or Late Crew)
Aka herder of cats: Wrangle a bunch of us into a straight-ish line and lead us across a field looking for shiny things in the grass. Weirdly meditative, and also a lot like the game "Red Light Green Light." Prior field sweep experience is helpful but not required, and an LNT core lead will be there to help out as well. We sweep the bug field in the afternoon of exodus day, and the parking lots the following day during land sweep/late crew.
Shift timing aligns with the regular field sweep crew and land sweep crew shifts.
