Your 2015 Biggest Week Carbon Offset Donations Will Help Cerulean Warblers!

Your donation to the 2015 Biggest Week carbon offset 
will boost reforestation efforts in Latin America, helping to provide wintering habitat for birds like Cerulean Warbler. 

Every $10 contributed makes a big difference to American Bird Conservancy, which has worked with local communities and organizations to plant more than 3 million trees and shrubs in important bird habitats across South America. With the support of concerned birders like you, we can plant more trees—restoring more habitat for the birds we love and helping to mitigate climate change.

BIRDER BUCK$ FOR THE BOARDWALK

The Magee Marsh Boardwalk has become one of the most iconic birding destinations in the world, But at 25+ years old, those bodacious birding boards are in need of a make-over. You can help! 

The Friends of Magee Marsh have taken on the task of raising more than $300,000 to renovate the boardwalk so that it will continue to offer visitors a safe and wonderful experience. Birders can contribute and support their efforts, HERE.
