Business & Community Partners
Our communities place a high value on the amazing wildlife and breathtaking landscapes we have in western Washington. To help further our mission of protecting these species and their habitats, our business and community partners enable us to: offer educational programs to schools, libraries, and community groups; provide grants to elementary school teachers for environmental education; collect valuable data on our local birds to inform science and policy; grow our membership so we can be stronger advocates on local conservation issues; and create a sense of place and community through events such as Swifts Night Out and Puget Sound Bird Fest.
Some of the ways we support our partners include:
Recognition on our website, social media, and newsletter
Hosting a birding field trip for your staff/organization
Giving a presentation to your staff/organization
Offering a table at one of our events
Recognition on event signage
