Support the FEC Songbird Squad!

One of my favorite things about working for the Forest Exploration Center is meeting folks who are so passionate about our natural spaces and all that trees provide -- especially habitat for birds! From the dark-eyed juncos in winter to indigo buntings in summer, and the many birds who call the FEC home year round, the urban woodland is one of the best spaces in southeast Wisconsin to appreciate and engage with wildlife.

Support our team led by some FANTASTIC stewards, and the FEC will get a portion of the funds for our outreach and education programming. Thank you!

Hi everyone! So excited to start the Forest's first ever Birdathon team. We will be scheduling a couple of bird count events between April and June and announce them here, so stay tuned!

Your Donation Makes a Difference For Birds

Donations made to the Great Wisconsin Birdathon support the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin’s Bird Protection Fund, which has given out over $1.4 million towards Wisconsin’s highest priority bird conservation projects since its inception in 2009.

Whether it's creating Piping Plover habitat, rearing Whooping Crane chicks, spreading awareness about declining songbirds, supporting community initiatives for bird-friendly neighborhoods, engaging new and underrepresented voices in the birding community, building impactful collaborations to protect Wisconsin's Important Bird Areas, or protecting our neotropical migrants on their long migratory journeys to Central America... the Bird Protection Fund is there to help.

Your donations make this work possible. Thank you for supporting on-the-ground conservation and being there #ForTheBirds!
