Things To Do
2nd Annual Delaware Bird-A-Thon
Saturday, May 3 -Sunday, May 11th, 2008
Here’s a superb opportunity for you to contribute to bird conservation in Delaware. Through an alliance with The Conservation Fund, America’s foremost non-profit conservation organization dedicated to protecting wildlife habitat, 97% of all proceeds will go directly towards purchasing land in Delaware as well as addressing other conservation issues. This land provides species such as the Red Knot rufa with a vital migratory shorebird habitat. Spend a few hours, an afternoon, or all day enjoying nature and watching migrating flocks of birds for the worthy cause of bird conservation.
