The National Audubon Society is currently engaged in its 125th year of data gathering, with the volunteer-driven annual Christmas Bird Count. Many regional chapters around the world—including Western North Carolina—are hosting local events for birding enthusiasts looking to support wildlife conservation.

The well-organized and strategically orchestrated project, which runs from December 14 to January 5, enables scientists to study our feathered friends’ population trends. In part, the data enable federal agencies to craft policy for conservation efforts.
