Explore the sections below to learn about the different ways in which we work.

Because of the importance of California to birds, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ has had a strong presence here for more than 100 years, represented by the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, local chapters, and many thousands of members and supporters. ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ California, acting as a field program of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ since 1996, has a long list of accomplishments on behalf of birds and nature. Examples include legislation to remove toxic lead from ammunition, an agreement to safeguard habitat for birds at Owens Lake, the establishment of protected areas for marine birds along the coast, and an introduction to nature for thousands of children at our centers and sanctuaries.

All of our victories are made possible by the unique way that ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ California works. Building from our origins as a grassroots movement powered by people’s love of birds, our organization works on the local, state, and national levels, seeking out partnerships with chapters, government agencies, and other nonprofit organizations. We have a reputation for building sensible, non-partisan solutions to conservation challenges. If conservation is a journey, we invite people to join us on that journey and to share in our success.
