Many of you know I’m on the board of SCVBA (the local Audubon chapter), and this year Priya, a fellow SCVBA board member, and I are part of the Birdathon Committee. Birdathon is an important fundraiser that supports the part of the Bird Alliance’s work I care most about.

Birdathon funds SCVBA’s education and outreach programs, including free programs for Title I schools. We’re really lucky to have staff like Carolyn Knight and Matthew Dodder, who are thoughtful, kind, and deeply committed to this work. They reach a lot of people in our community who might not otherwise have the chance to learn about or connect with the environment.

Priya and I are also doing a Birdathon team together with our team, the Ulistac Pack.

We’ll be out at Ulistac Natural Area next Wednesday, April 22, which also happens to be Earth Day. It’s the last natural area in the City of Santa Clara, and it’s a bit of a smorgasbord of habitats, which means a lot of birds. If anyone wants to join us, you’re very welcome. More information is here:

Birdathon is a collective effort across more than 25 teams, all raising support for this work, and any amount really does help.

If you’re able, we’d really appreciate a donation to support our team.
