we are building a community

that protects birds and their habitats.

Our July lineup invites you to explore local trails, test your bird knowledge, learn from experts, join a book club discussion, and get a front-row seat to conservation science. Whether you’re drawn to butterflies, shorebirds, habitat stewardship, engaging conversations, friendly competition, or simply the joy of spending time outdoors with like-minded people, there’s an adventure waiting for you this month!

Help Keep Birds Safe

Birds fill our skies and neighborhoods with life. We can help keep them safe by making a few simple changes at home to prevent a leading cause of death and injury: bird-window collisions. Every window you make bird-friendly can save lives, so start now and turn your home into part of the solution rather than the problem. Don’t know where to start?
