Ready, set, bird! The Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin invites Wisconsin bird fanatics to participate in its annual fundraiser, The Great Wisconsin Birdathon. It's a very choose-your-own-adventure style activity for bird watchers of any level, solo or in a team, to pick a time and spot as many bird species as possible, with fundraising or donations by participants encouraged. The money raised goes to the Natural Resources Foundation’s Bird Protection Fund. Find more info and register at wisconservation.org.
media release: The Great Wisconsin Birdathon is Wisconsin’s largest fundraiser for bird conservation hosted annually by the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin. Each year bird enthusiasts from across the state form teams with the goal of finding as many bird species as possible within a 24-hour period while raising important funds for bird conservation.
It’s like a walk-a-thon-style fundraiser, but instead of logging miles, you’re logging bird sightings!
Birdathon teams can participate any day from April 15th to June 15th, and all skill levels are welcome to join! While most teams choose to compete over a 24-hour period, many teams opt to bird over the course of a weekend, a week, or even the entirety of the Birdathon! Teams can bird anywhere – a backyard, local park, or a route to hit all their favorite birding hot spots. Both novice and expert birders can have fun and make a difference in protecting birds—the Birdathon is for everybody!
The funds raised through the Great Wisconsin Birdathon go to the Natural Resources Foundation’s Bird Protection Fund, which supports our state’s highest priority bird conservation projects.
