The Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance Centennial Celebration

Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance, a local chapter of the National Audubon Society, was founded in 1925 with the mission to promote the enjoyment, understanding, and protection of birds and other wildlife by engaging people of all ages in birding, education, and conservation. This year we mark the one hundredth year of our organization with a strong statement of our dedication to preserving the wildlife and wild spaces in our community. Through our century-long history we have inspired thousands of children and adults to care about the natural world around us.

With an eye toward the future, and how we will continue to expand our impact, it is time to celebrate our legacy and the people and organizations that have played a role in our county’s environmental legacy. Join us for our month-long Centennial Celebration this October, culminating in a Member Banquet on October 3rd and a full-day Wildlife Fair on October 4.

Throughout the month, SCVBA will be offering special Centennial activities including field trips to our various signature habitats, guest speakers, classes, bioblitzes and demonstrations.

Become a sponsor and secure your complimentary tickets to some of our events as well as recognition at the Banquet and Fair, as well as all our promotional event materials. Sponsors may also qualify for a table at our Wildlife Fair where vendors from all over will have an opportunity to meet attendees and showcase their organization’s work.
