BirdReturns | A Decade of Habitat, A Future for Birds.

In the last decade BirdReturns has partnered with 200 growers and wetland managers in the Central Valley to convert 180,000 acres into temporary wetlands for migratory birds. It’s a win for the birds as they make their way from the Arctic to the Equator and a win for the growers and wetland managers who have received $6 million in direct payments for their participation.

See the birds and hear from program participants, TNC staff, our partners at Audubon California and Point Blue Conservation Science, and more to find out what BirdReturns brings to California and where it’s going next!

A short film that answers key questions about why conserving and restoring wetlands is so important, what we can learn from the birds that depend on them, and how local communities can be part of the conservation solution.
