What YOU can do to help the IBA program!
Volunteer Opportunities

TOP CURRENT NEED: We need someone to design a permanent multi-use structure for Panola Mountain State Park. This structure would serve as a bird banding station, an outdoor classroom, a lunch stopover for those conducting conservation work, and a wildlife viewing area. It would have to have wheelchair access and lockable storage, and be aesthetically pleasing.

Some other ways you can help:

Enter data in eBird – it would be great if you would enter ALL your bird sightings, but please at least consider entering data for IBAs: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/

Participate in Volunteer Conservation Days.

Conduct a standardized bird census at an IBA. We need data on all of our sites! Please contact Charlie Muise for details.
Help enter the data of other people – Most of us know an active bird watcher who does not have time or internet access to enter all of their data. There are also a lot of older folks who have many years’ worth of important data in notebooks somewhere. Offer to enter data for someone!

Help out at, or even organize a volunteer Conservation Activity – From pulling invasive exotic plants, to maintaining an IBA kiosk, to collecting warm season grass seeds, our IBAs need lots of help. If you have a talent or interest, I can use your help!

Help fund our efforts. We are a 501(c)3, so donations are tax deductible.

Help find and introduce us to potential donors

Help us to write grants

Help build and erect a kiosk at an IBA

Lead a bird trip to introduce people to your favorite IBA
