NYC Bird Alliance

NYC Bird Alliance (for­mer­ly NYC Audubon) is a grass­roots com­mu­ni­ty that works for the pro­tec­tion of wild birds and habi­tat in the five bor­oughs, improv­ing the qual­i­ty of life for all New York­ers. For 40 years, they have cham­pi­oned nature in the City’s five bor­oughs through a com­bi­na­tion of engag­ing and enter­tain­ing pro­grams and inno­v­a­tive con­ser­va­tion cam­paigns. Through these efforts, they pro­tect the more than 300 species of birds liv­ing in the 30,000 acres of wet­lands, forests, and grass­lands of New York City.

On Gov­er­nors Island, NYC Bird Alliance holds free tours and work­shops, along with events and an Artist in Res­i­dence (AiR) pro­gram that offers local artists an oppor­tu­ni­ty to inves­ti­gate birds and wildlife con­ser­va­tion in the con­text of urban nat­ur­al space and pub­lic engagement.
