Help Us Help Birds by Taking This Survey!

Researchers are conducting a survey to better understand birdwatchers’ views on grassland and oak savannah habitat conservation, restoration, and possible ways to support this work in California.

Whether these habitats are near where you live and bird or farther away, your perspective is still valuable.

Take the survey!
