Support our team in the Great Wisconsin Birdathon!
Birds need our help. North America has lost more than 3 billion birds since the 1970s, but we can make a difference.
When you support our team, you’re not only helping fund bird conservation through the Natural Resources Foundation Bird Protection Fund, you’re also helping us expand our Bus to Nature and Birding Backpack programs. These programs connect more kids and families across Wisconsin to birds and the outdoors.
Every dollar creates access, builds community, and helps protect the birds we love.
Thank you for supporting our work.

It's been an exciting spring so far! Peak migration has brought some super cool birds through the area. A few of my favs have been Summer Tanager, Blackburnian Warbler, Canada Warbler, Mourning Warbler, and Blue-headed Vireo. We have a few more weeks to go, and I'm super grateful for all the support we have gotten so far. Happy Birding!

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!
