Help us preserve and create important ecosystems for migratory birds and
coastal wildlife!

Our native habitats and gardens are critically important to thousands of migratory birds. These ecosystems serve as stop-over sites where migratory birds can find the food, water, and shelter they need to fuel the rest of their migrations. During the fall migration we see bird species that are migrating south all the way to South America utilizing our habitats, and in the spring, we see them returning northward to breeding sites as far as the Arctic Tundra! These incredible migrants need our help now more than ever to complete these long and arduous journeys! 

​

On Saturday, October 10th, World Migratory Bird Day, during the peak of fall migration, our birding team made up of staff and volunteers (everyone is invited) will be birding on our back deck from sunrise to sunset in effort to record as many species as possible! 

​

You can join our efforts to conserve migratory birds by pledging a monetary amount per bird species we record on the day as a fundraiser to help us preserve and expand our habitats!

This year, we are raising funds to complete phase #2 of our wetland restoration project. 

We completed phase #1 during the winter of 2026, and we are trying to raise $200,000 to complete phase #2 during the winter of 2028. Our wetlands have silted over the years, leading to a degradation of the habitat. The restoration entails mechanical dredging to restore the wetland to original depth in order to improve water quality and overall wetland health and biodiversity. ​
