Team Captain of FEC Songbird Squad

Support the FEC Songbird Squad in the Great Wisconsin Birdathon!

Hello!

I am participating to support the preservation of our neighborhood forest. This little patch had been ignored and was difficult to access my whole life, but over the last number of years local volunteers have been clearing buckthorn, creating accessible trails, and hosting educational opportunities for children and adults. The surrounding land has also been getting lots of love and restorative attention- and the wildlife is bounding back!

By donating to my page, you're supporting the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin's Bird Protection Fund, which funds Wisconsin's highest priority bird conservation projects. A portion of what we raise will also go directly to the Forest Exploration Center, helping our local birds and our neighborhood forest!

Your support would mean a lot to me. Help our team protect our wild spaces and wild critters. Every dollar counts when it comes to helping our birds, so no donation is too small. Thank you for considering!

Make a donation online by clicking "donate" above, or mail a check to: Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, ATTN: Great Wisconsin Birdathon, 211 S. Paterson St., Suite 100, Madison, WI 53703 (and include our team's name in the memo line!)

Welcome Team!

I'm Nickie. You may have met me at a previous event in or around the FEC. I do like buckthorn pulls and tree-plantin' parties. I've also participated in some bird counts previously, but never headed up anything park- related myself. So, let's see how this goes. I'm glad you're here.

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!
