Support NBNC

"NBNC's ECO Homeschool and Summer Camp programs instilled in my children a deep love for Vermont's landscape and taught them to engage, delight, and steward. We can't wait to return next summer for walks and swims in the woods and river and fields we all love and know so well."

— Hannah Miller, NBNC supporter

Planned Gifts and Other Ways to Give

NBNC gratefully receives gifts of stock or property, planned gifts, and bequests. Click here for detailed information.

Adopt an Owl

Support Community Science at NBNC with a fun and unique gift for friends and family. Our owl research program is an extraordinary opportunity to connect with charismatic wildlife while discovering new information about avian ecology. This research requires specialized equipment and intensive data analysis that would not be possible without your support. Adopt an Owl here.

Help Others Benefit from NBNC

Gifts to The Chip and Alisa Darmstadt Education Fund will provide financial support for NBNC programs to anyone for whom finances are a barrier. Help us make sure everyone has access to high-quality nature-based education programs!

Buy Coffee

We now have two ways for you to support us by buying delicious coffee! Bird-friendly Birds & Beans coffee lets you support both NBNC and migratory birds while saving on shipping. Learn more and download an order form here. Or if you prefer a local option, purchases of 802Coffee's Monarch Blend medium roast support our monarch-tagging and other programs. Pick up a bag at NBNC, at Capitol Grounds, or online here.

Gift Certificates

Give a friend or family member a birding outing, a BioU class, or any other NBNC program with a gift certificate.

So I tell you this not to scare you,
But to prepare you, to dare you
To dream a different reality,

Where despite disparities
We all care to protect this world,
This riddled blue marble, this little true marvel
To muster the verve and the nerve
To see how we can serve
Our planet.
