We encourage birders to learn about and help or support bird conservation efforts — see below and the right-hand sidebar. Also, New Hampshire Bird Records issues feature various volunteer research projects that birders can help with.

Conservation Projects

• Backyard Winter Bird Survey—volunteers count birds at their feeders in February for long term population monitoring.
• Important Bird Areas—identify critical bird habitat.
• Project Nighthawk—a research effort to restore urban-nesting Common Nighthawks through nest patch installation and monitoring.
• Swallow CORE—information on swallow declines and helping register nesting locations.
