Support the NLT Birding Marathon this May

This May, twenty expert birders will visit all 17 of our nature reserves to try to find as many species of birds as they can in a 24 hour period. It’s a marathon!

Last year our birders found a total of 149 species across NLT’s 14 nature reserves, including new species such as Bald Eagles and Red Headed Woodpeckers.  Not only did they find lots and lots of birds, but also many of the other creatures that call our nature reserves home such as foxes, otters, and much more. Each year we can’t wait to hear the birders’ reports of what they found.  Their reports are a fascinating snapshot in time of life on NLT’s nature reserves. We will share our birder’s discoveries with you here, as well as posting live updates from the marathon on Instagram and Facebook.

We have added three new nature reserves since last year – Haddon, Willow Lane, and Biddy Creek Wetland.  These reserves total over 500 more acres of protected habitat for birds and other wildlife.   It will be exciting to see what our birders will find on all 17 nature reserves!

The birding marathon is one of NLT’s biggest fundraisers of the year.

Please support our Birding Marathon this year and spread the word.
