New Hope Birdathon
New Hope Birdathon
April 23, 2026 - April 26, 2026 @
New Hope Bird Alliance is excited to welcome our community to participate in our New Hope Birdathon! Grab your binoculars, gather your friends, and get ready to bird this April 23-26 to see how many species you can find while raising funds for New Hope Bird Alliance. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to help expand our organization's capacity and hire our first paid staff, an Executive Director. This will enable us to amplify our educational and conservation efforts, bringing our passion for birds to a broader audience in the Triangle. The situation for birds and wildlife is deteriorating at an unsustainable pace, but together, we can make a difference. Your support will help us achieve our goals and ensure a brighter future for our feathered friends.
Birds need our help. Birds need new hope. Join the New Hope Birdathon and make your birding count. Learn more and register here.
