̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ opened its first center, the Greenwich ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Center in Connecticut, in 1943. 

Today the 33 centers in ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡'s network are places to learn about and enjoy birds and their habitats. They serve as local hubs of conservation opportunities, and afford visitors the ability to connect with the natural world. At ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ centers, visitors can:

  • Take a school class or Scout groups for an educational program

  • Attend a seminar or workshop

  • Volunteer to participate in things like citizen science and habitat work

  • Connect with like-minded people who care about birds, nature, and conservation

Centers span a broad spectrum, from urban oases like the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Center at Debs Park in Los Angeles, to spectacular wildlife viewing destinations like Florida’s Blair ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Center at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. They are places where local residents, representatives of local businesses, community-oriented organizations, elected officials, and volunteers can come together with the common purpose of producing positive results for the entire community. Most have hiking trails, and many have nature stores, meeting spaces for rent, and knowledgeable staff and volunteers. Visit one soon!
