Birdathon 2013

Sign up now for Birdathon 2013!

.

Since 1917, Golden Gate Audubon Society has been the Bay Area’s leading advocate for birds — fighting to protect Golden Eagles and Least Terns, restoring important habitat, and connecting inner-city schoolchildren with the birds and ecosystems in their neighborhoods.

Help us continue this essential work through BIRDATHON 2013, our biggest annual fundraiser!

BIRDATHON 2013 is bigger, better and more important than ever, with seventeen guided trips that range from condor sighting in Pinnacles National Park to a family nature adventure at the Berkeley Marina. This year’s Birdathon Awards Dinner will take place on May 19 at a beautiful private location on the edge of Redwood Regional Park. Don’t miss out on any of it!

Golden Gate Audubon engages people to experience the wonder of birds and translate that wonder into action; and protect native bird populations and their habitats.

We have played leadership roles in the preservation of Arrowhead Marsh in Oakland and Audubon Canyon Ranch in Bolinas, protection of raptors at the Altamont Pass wind farm, and are currently working to protect endangered California Least Terns in Alameda and Snowy Plovers in San Francisco. Our Eco-Education program introduces 700 low-income elementary school students and their families to wildlife and ecosystems each year.
