Why drop by Hoover Reservoir hotspots and other Ohio P2F efforts to lend moral support for volunteers supporting Pledge to Fledge? Why pitch-in and lend assistance helping new birders see birds? People truly value only what they know through personal involvement, personal experience. People support only what they value. The greatest challenge to bird conservation today is the general lack of personal involvement with birds, up close personal experience, the kind of experience birders like you and I take for granted. Join the effort, take someone new birding. Stop by your local P2F effort just to say thanks to volunteers and offer to lend assistance for minutes or hours. Just go birding tomorrow and Sunday and take someone new with you!
