Great Wisconsin Birdathon

The Great Wisconsin Birdathon is Wisconsin’s largest fundraiser for bird conservation hosted annually by the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin. It’s like a walk-a-thon-style fundraiser, but instead of logging miles, you’re logging bird sightings! The funds raised through the Great Wisconsin Birdathon go to the Natural Resources Foundation’s Bird Protection Fund, which supports our state’s highest priority bird conservation projects.

Birdathon teams can participate any day from April 15th to June 15th, and all skill levels are welcome to join! While most teams choose to compete over a 24-hour period, many teams opt to bird over the course of a weekend, a week, or even the entirety of the Birdathon! Teams can bird anywhere – a backyard, local park, or a route to hit all their favorite birding hot spots. Both novice and expert birders can have fun and make a difference in protecting birds—the Birdathon is for everybody!
