make it happen!
We are entering the last two days of our Spring Fundraising Drive, with $2000 needed to reach our goal. Money we receive during this period is dedicated towards our outreach and environmental education efforts throughout the year.
With your support, we have trained hundreds of people to be citizen science volunteers, brought our science lessons to local libraries and Boys and Girls Clubs, and engaged with underserved groups at local Veterans Health Administrations.
Donors like you also provide matching funds, which helped us secure a grant from the Open Space Authority for our banding station field trips. Please help us continue our important outreach programs by making a donation today!
