• Your $250 contribution will buy two pairs of binoculars for fourth-grade children in East Oakland and North Richmond to learn about local birds and wildlife through our Eco-Oakland and Eco-Richmond Environmental Education Programs—cutting-edge projects that connect underserved children with the environment and engage them in habitat restoration.

• Your $300 contribution will pay for a bus to transport a class of elementary students to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Shoreline Regional Park, where they will learn to identify birds and help to restore native plants along the shoreline.
