CONSERVANCY IS FUN!
protection/restoration of habitat is critical to the well-being of the wild things we love. And besides, we’ve found out just how fun and rewarding it can really be. Over the years we have met many fascinating people participating on conservation projects. The groups we like the best are the ones that focus on getting volunteers to perform citizen science and actual hands-on activities like restorations and monitoring. Here are five fun and (usually) easy things you can do: 1. Join your local Audubon Society. 2. Plant for Wildlife: Grow plants that attract native birds and butterflies where you live. 3. Share what you know with friends & family. 4. Volunteer with your favorite local conservation group – Mitigate non-native plants and animals, participate in habitat restoration, monitoring of migration patterns of birds, clean up days, etc. 5. Provide a clean water supply for birds. |

The GGRO is dedicated to the conservation of raptors and to community involvement in wildlife research. Their studies of the movements of hawks through the Golden Gate National Recreation Area demonstrate that biological boundaries extend far beyond political boundaries.
