Now in its fifth year, the Citizen Science Bird Monitoring Program began with a grant from Cornell University. With primary objectives focused on increasing our capacity for avian data collection and fostering community engagement, the program seeks to create a network of trained individuals dedicated to helping monitor bird populations across Wood River Land Trust properties.

?We are excited to build on the momentum of last year’s surveys as we head into the second year of the program this spring. If you are a birder- whether you’re a novice, expert, or somewhere in between, we could use your help!
