Want to get involved in Burrowing Owl conservation? Check-out what your local Audubon chapter is up to. Here is a list of some great programs being held around the state:

Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society

Their Environmental Advocate, Shani Kleinhaus, and the Environmental Action Committee have been diligently advocating for the preservation, restoration and enhancement of the Burrowing Owl and its habitat in cities along the bay. Watch the above documentary for more inspiration. Santa Clara Valley is looking for Burrowing Owl advocates and educators. Contact Shani for more information.

Golden Gate Audubon Society

The Golden Gate Audubon Burrowing Owl Docent Program educates the public about the owls and encourages their conservation and protection.  This cooperative effort between the Golden Gate Audubon Society, the City of Berkeley Marina and the Shorebird Nature Center has been successfully implemented for the past six years. Contact volunteer@goldengateaudubon.org  for more information.
