Bird Conservancy fall fundraiser

[Nathan Pieplow]

Hello all,

I imagine most of you are familiar with the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies. Based in Colorado, it's the region's largest homegrown bird-focused nonprofit. Here are some of the many things that the Bird Conservancy does:

• runs some of the largest and most rigorous bird monitoring efforts in North America, throughout the Rocky Mountain and Great Basin regions and from the Northern Great Plains to northern Mexico;
  
• works closely with private landowners, especially agricultural producers, to make sure that those landowners can meet their economic needs while benefiting birds and the environment in general;
  
• spearheads the Central Grasslands Roadmap, an enormous multilateral effort to preserve North American grassland birds, our most threatened cohort of species;
• runs banding stations where young children get to see birds up close and personal, often for the first time in their lives;
• runs summer camps where young people can grow and share their love of birds and nature.

To help keep this organization strong, I'd like to invite everyone to the Bird Conservancy fall fundraiser on Friday evening, October 14, at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. For more information and to purchase tickets, see https://bcotr.cbo.io/.

I'm happy to answer questions you may have!
