Recreation Programs

We organize multiple field trips in Anchorage and southcentral Alaska throughout the year that are open to the public. These programs focus on bird identification, the annual stages of bird biology, and how birds use different habitats. We link these topics to actions we can take to ensure healthy bird populations into the future. See our Events page for more information.

Conservation Programs

Our conservation efforts focus on supporting new and existing actions that benefit birds, their habitats, and provide information on the status and trends of birds in Anchorage and southcentral Alaska. This includes annual events such as the Christmas Bird Count and other national bird surveys.

New conservation efforts are underway, and updates will be posted here. Past efforts include habitat protection in Bicentennial Park, the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, Connors Lake, and at the Business Park Wetlands. We have also supported local scientific research on Pacific loons and Hudsonian Godwits in the Upper Cook Inlet. Contact the Conservation Chair if you would like more information, to let us know about an issue that concerns you, or to get involved!
