For the Tomahawk Leader
TOMAHAWK – The Tomahawk Public Library (TPL) is asking the community to take part in the Great Wisconsin Birdathon.
This year’s Birdathon kicked off on Monday, April 15 and will run through Saturday, June 15.
The Natural Resources of Wisconsin Foundation said the Birdathon is the state’s largest fundraiser for bird conservation.
“It’s like a walk-a-thon style fundraiser, but instead of logging miles, our participants are logging bird sightings,” the Foundation’s website says. “Each year, bird enthusiasts from across the state raise support and awareness for bird conservation by forming a team or donating to a team.”
Funds raised will go toward adding material to TPL’s collection that focuses on caring for and/or learning about birds and benefit the Foundation’s bird conservation projects .
Birdathon participants can birdwatch anywhere in Wisconsin and log their sightings at www.wisconservation.org/great-wisconsin-birdathon/.
