All field stations should register and pay dues based on their annual operating budget. Visit the Membership Dues section for these amounts.

If multiple stations are managed by single organization, we ask that each station still register and pay independently based on their size.

If these fees place an undo burden on your station, please contact our treasurer (treasurer@obfs.org) to discuss options. Your membership matters to us more than your dues!

Visit the OBFS login page and create a new account. All new accounts must be approved by a site administrator. You will receive email updates throughout the approval process. Contact the web administrator with any questions.

Once approved, log back in to the site. You will be given a chance to create a new field station through the field station portal, or affiliate your account with an existing field station.

You will need to provide the following information to register your field station:

• A field station logo (maximum size of 1MB)
• Your station's latitude and longitude in decimal degrees
• A brief description about your FSML
• A backgroung photo
• Your address
• Contact information (email and phone)
• Size of your field station
• Elevation
• Annual budget and number of staff
• Biomes
• Miscellaneous optional information

We estimate that this will take 30 minutes to complete. We recommend completing the information in one sitting, but you can save your progress and return. Your submission can be edited after it is submitted.

Please use the Jepson Prairie Reserve field station as a reference point.

Once you have created a field station or affiliated yourself with one you can upload, news, events, and job postings.
