Make a World Series of Birding Pledge for NJ Audubon!

Hundreds of birders from around the globe will scour our state, from High Point to Cape May Point and everywhere in between, in search of as many bird species as they can find, in order to raise as much money as possible for wildlife conservation.  With the help of people like you, who pledge to New Jersey Audubon, every bird counted means more dollars for New Jersey Audubon's conservation, research and environmental education initiatives.  To find out how you can pledge our efforts, click here.
