GREAT WASHINGTON STATE BIRDING TRAIL MAPS
A few weeks ago, the newest route of the Great Washington State Birding Trail, the Sun and Sage Loop was unveiled to the public. In the first month bird watchers purchased more than 500 maps!
Birding trail fans love the art work, the abundance of local knowledge – and the fact that Audubon Washington is working for the long-term protection of birds and their habitat.
What does all this mean to you?
By 2010 you’ll be able to travel the seven-loop, 3,000-mile Great Washington State Birding Trail from the Pacific Ocean to Idaho, from Oregon to Canada. Along the way, you’ll find all of Washington’s 346 common bird species!
The birding trail also provides financial incentives for local people to value and safeguard their lands and waters that birds need to survive. And finally, the birding trail offers a sustainable economic activity, nature tourism, for the benefit of rural communities.
Last year, we surveyed birding trail users about the maps – and we’ve followed your recommendations. We have switched to paper certified by Forest Stewardship Council and produced by a local Washington mill.
We’re “walking the talk” about sustainability. But this comes with a price tag. Please consider helping with the real cost of producing these popular and important maps. Together, we can safeguard not only our birds, but also the environment that sustains us all.
It’s easy. Click here now. Or paste this link in your web browser https://loon.audubon.org/payment/donate/WAState.html. Our birds will thank you!
Sincerely,
Christi Norman, Director Great Washington State Birding Trail
