Supporting Wild Birds and Working Landscape in Skagit Valley: An introduction to Be Bird Wise

Guest Speaker: Bryony Angell

Come hear the origin story of the Be Bird Wise initiative in Washington’s agricultural Skagit Valley. Be Bird Wise is an educational media campaign speaking to recreational visitors to the region, drawn by the presence and abundance of migratory birds.

Bryony Angell writes and speaks about birding culture to promote birding as a pastime and to promote wild bird conservation. She contributes to regional and national publications like The Seattle Times, Audubon.org, Birding Magazine and Bird Watcher’s Digest.

She serves on local and international committees focused on bird conservation including Be Bird Wise, a project of Skagitonians to Preserve Farmland, and the Smithsonian Institute’s Bird Friendly coalition supporting for-profit business as an economically sustainable driver for conservation.

She lives in Skagit Valley with her family.
