About Us

In Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri, we are focused on large-scale conservation projects that protect and restore the habitat that birds need to thrive in our region, along with the research and monitoring that informs that work. We rely on public funding, grants, and private donations to fund these critical projects. From forests to grasslands, marsh birds to river navigators, we are working across this geography to make the biggest impact possible for birds and the environment.
