Program areas at Bird Conservancy of the Rockies

Science - Bird Conservancy of the Rockies monitors, evaluates and researches birds and their habitats generating data that guides science-based conservation efforts across the full annual cycle of birds' lives. Our work extends from the breeding grounds in the u.s. and canada to wintering grounds in mexico and beyond. Strategic partnerships and volunteer community scientists expand our reach and increase our impact. We work with state and federal agencies, universities, ngos, local communities and landowners to build capacity, knowledge and support for the conservation of ecosystems important to migratory and resident birds and people. Join us in the discovery.
Education - birds, nature and science are powerful sources of inspiration. Bird Conservancy focuses on connecting people of all ages with the natural world. We provide year-round learning and exposure to science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (steam). We spark the physical and mental abilities of the whole person to empower and encourage individual growth and confidence, well-being, and a passion for our natural world. This is achieved through field and classroom programs, youth summer camps, field excursions, training for teachers and landowners, and programming for seniors and others in long-term care facilities. Inspire in nature.
Stewardship - our network of strategically-placed private lands wildlife biologists engage directly with landowners, local communities and managers to enact voluntary, pro-active conservation action. We build a grassroots land stewardship ethic that links birds, habitat and land health. Together, we're creating long-term conservation solutions for people, birds and the land. With your support, we can engage landowners and communities in conservation efforts, integrating the ecological health, economic drivers and habitat needs of Bird populations. Help us impart a stewardship ethic.
