Join me for the Vermont Center for Ecostudies’ 20th Annual Birdathon, a beloved tradition that raises funds for VCE, a wildlife research and conservation nonprofit based in White River Junction.

This birdathon is like a walk-a-thon, but instead of counting miles, I’ll be counting bird species during one 24-hour period in May. 

You can help me reach my fundraising goal by either making a donation today or by pledging to give a specific dollar amount per species I see on my birding day.

Your generosity funds everything VCE does, including: 

• Long-term Monitoring: Decades-long datasets reveal how wildlife responds to changing lands and climate.

• Innovative Conservation Science: Pioneering studies build knowledge to protect biodiversity

• International Collaboration: Partnerships in the Caribbean foster local capacity to sustain ecosystems.

• Mentorship for the Next Generation: Interns and graduate students gain career skills while collecting vital data.

To learn more about VCE visit their website at vtecostudies.org.

You can make a donation or a per-species pledge on my individual page by clicking the donate button above. You can also mail a check to Vermont Center for Ecostudies at PO Box 420, Norwich, VT 05055 and include my name on the memo line.
