Community Science

Community science is the collection and analysis of scientific data by community members in collaboration with professional scientists or organization. Participants build our capacity to collect data that informs the actions we take to conserve birds and their habitat.

Community scientists are essential in Audubon's efforts to protect birds and their habitats in Vermont. Whether you're participating in a monthly bird monitoring walk at Green Mountain Audubon Center or a Christmas Bird Count circle near you, community scientists contribute to a better understanding of Vermont's birds.

Birdathon

Birdathon is one of Audubon Vermont’s biggest fundraisers of the year. Our goal is to raise $30,000 each spring, a fundraiser we've run every year since 2000.

We begin our journey bright and early to travel through forests, fields, and along rivers and ponds to see, hear, and identify as many of our feathered friends as possible within a 24-hour period. Our staff team spends most of our day combing the hills and forests of the Green Mountain Audubon Center and Birds of Vermont Museum before venturing farther afield.

Through generous sponsorships from friends, family, and Audubon supporters, we raise essential funds to maintain Audubon Vermont's education programs, science initiatives and Green Mountain Audubon Center facilities.

Whether you’re inspired by a love of birds, concern for the environment, or the sheer pleasure of being outdoors, the Audubon Birdathon is a great opportunity to do something positive for the planet—and have fun doing it!

Get Involved

Join the Birdathon

The Audubon Birdathon takes place over a week long period (May 19th-25th), during which you’ll go outside and count as many different bird species as you can. Pick 24-hour period over the course of the week to go birding, do a single morning or afternoon session, or head outside for an hour here or there. You can either build a birding team online—gather teammates from anywhere around the country—or bird on your own. Any way you do it, every dollar you raise supports Audubon Vermont.
