Let’s get outside and count nature’s wonders in support of
Nature Forward’s environmental education, conservation,
and restoration programs!
April 15 – May 31
What is the Bloomin’ Birdathon?
It’s like a walk-a-thon-style fundraiser, but instead of logging miles, you’re logging bird or flower species sightings!
Participants ask for donations from friends and family, then get outside count birds, flowers or other species – solo or with a team.
Donations can be a flat amount or a per-species pledge where more species found means more money raised in support of Nature Forward’s environmental education, conservation, and restoration programs!
You can participate any day from April 15th to May 31st, and all skill levels are welcome to join! While most individuals or teams choose to compete over a 24-hour period, many teams opt to bird over the course of a weekend, a week, or even the entirety of the Bloomin’ Birdathon!
Novice or expert, everyone can participate in this easy, fun, and important fundraiser for Nature Forward.
