Important Bird Areas in Georgia - What you can do to help!

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

TOP CURRENT NEED: I REALLY need a person (or people) who have interest and talent at creating posters and/or other display items. I will be presenting at various venues in the coming months, and I am pretty much artistically inept. I’d like some sort of a tri-fold system with pictures and other information on it. Ideally something which can be changed from time to time, but I’d be delighted if someone could make even a permanent display. We can cover the cost of materials – but of course, we also happily accept donations.

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 should be tax deductible.
