Thank you to our sponsors!
Raritan Headwaters is excited to bring back our annual Bird-a-Thon! Our bird watching team – the Watershed Warblers – will be out from dawn to dusk identifying species of birds throughout the Upper Raritan watershed region!
This year the Watershed Warblers will be split into three mini-teams:
The Adult Team will visit public access areas in the watershed that are home to threatened and endangered species.
The Kids Team will visit areas of the watershed that provide fun, safe access to nature for young people.
The Accessible Team will visit areas of the watershed that have wheelchair-accessible trails and observation areas suitable for people with disabilities.
Email Lauren to learn more about joining one of our teams!
Raritan Headwaters works to protect and preserve critical watershed habitat for New Jersey’s native and migratory bird species. By protecting clean water in our streams and rivers, restoring climate resilient habitats and educating residents, we are working to protect precious natural resources and native wildlife populations from further decline. With your support, we can sustain this important conservation work into the future!
Our Director of Education, Lauren Theis, is excited to be a Birdability Captain. Birdability is a national group working to ensure the birding community and the outdoors are welcoming, inclusive, safe and accessible for everybody through education, outreach and advocacy.
You can support our Bird-a-Thon teams by making a flat donation or by making a pledge for each bird species we identify! Pledge anywhere from 50 cents or more per bird species we find during the event on May 3rd. Our goal is to identify 110 bird species! Your support will motivate our birders throughout the long day and will raise funds for RHA’s work to protect the critical habitats that are so important to the survival of our fine-feathered friends.
