Sugaring—producing maple syrup—is a historic tradition in the forests of upstate New York. Maple syrup can be a model for sustainably produced food that also creates habitat for birds and other wildlife. This National Forest Week, meet some of the women sugaring and managing their maple stands to improve habitat quality for forest-nesting birds with Audubon New York and the Bird-Friendly Maple program. bit.ly/4cUbiim

Want a chance to see some of our planet’s most amazing bird life and landscapes across the Western Hemisphere? We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with HX Hurtigruten Expeditions, the tourism company renowned for its commitment to sustainable expedition cruising, offering unparalleled travel experiences aligned with both entities’ conservation goals. This partnership launches with ten sailings of five Audubon Voyages itineraries, selected from HX’s extensive global offerings, that include opportunities to observe diverse bird species and their ecosystems in the Galápagos, Alaska, and Antarctica. “Audubon’s conservation mission aligns well with the hands-on and science-enriched operations of HX,” says Dr. Chad Wilsey, Audubon’s chief scientist. “HX employs industry-leading efforts in eco-friendly practices and a commitment to conservation across all their itineraries, including important support for community science activities onboard. Through our partnership, we hope to engage more people in the urgent fight to protect birds and the places they need.” Learn more about how to set sail with Audubon and HX: https://bit.ly/3RZI5dK

We’re excited to announce the launch of Audubon’s Conservation Ranching program in Wisconsin! This program aims to reverse the decline of grassland bird populations through innovative partnerships with local farmers and ranchers who manage their lands to create bird-friendly habitats. This program has already seen success in 14 other states—with over 100 ranches and nearly 3 million acres certified as bird-friendly. Now, we’re bringing this effort to Wisconsin to support species like the Henslow’s Sparrow and Upland Sandpiper. Learn more about how this program connects conservation with consumer choices and helps our precious grassland ecosystems: bit.ly/45KywVF
