Bird Alliance of Oregon

Mission

To inspire all people to love and protect birds, wildlife, and the natural environment upon which life depends.

Bottom Line for Portland

By supporting Bird Alliance of Oregon, you help protect native birds, wildlife, and habitats while advancing advocacy, education, and hands-on conservation. Your gift helps restore coastal ecosystems and Eastern Oregon sagebrush habitats while providing more opportunities for urban communities to experience nature up close. Each year, thousands of children and adults join our programs, volunteer, and participate in community science—discovering the wonder of wildlife and understanding why these special places matter. Your support doesn’t just make these experiences possible—it helps Oregon’s natural world thrive for generations.

Quote

"There are many reasons I love the work of the Bird Alliance of Oregon. The Wildlife Care Center is dear to my heart. Their staff of veterinarians and volunteers saved the life and nurtured a spotted owl I rescued from a roadside in 1997.  The education department is top notch and provides a great variety of classes and camps for youth and adults. The work of the conservation staff throughout all parts of our state is unparalleled. The sanctuary is a gem and the nature store is a great source for bird lovers and nutty birders like myself." - Pat Campbell, Elk Cove Vineyards
