Projects
We try to stay busy at the CFBO! Here is some of what we have going on.
Migration Banding Stations
Our organization’s migration banding takes place at two locations: Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and The Nature Conservancy’s Black River Preserve in Bladen County, NC. Through this work we aim to track which species travel through the area, and when. This project allows us to research, teach, and connect with the public.
Painted Bunting Demographics
We are working to build a network of local collaborators to monitor Painted Buntings in coastal North Carolina. We are interested in learning more about local abundance of Painted Buntings as well as their nesting ecology and overwintering behavior. Do you live in coastal NC and have regular visits from Painted Buntings at your feeder during the winter months? Contact us, we’d like to know!
Outreach and Education
We believe that one of the most effective ways to promote environmental awareness is to get our community outside! In order to get more people outside, enjoying nature, we offer monthly nature walks at Greenfield Lake, public banding demonstrations through the summer, and many other various free public programs.
