Welcome to Coast to Cascades Bird Alliance!
The votes are in and we have a winner. Welcome to the Coast to Cascades Bird Alliance! We now have a new name that communicates our mission and feels welcoming and inviting. Our name identifies the partnerships essential to our work and creates a sense of unity. It describes the geographic reach of Lane County. And it aligns us with a nationwide network of organizations that are also adopting the Bird Alliance name.
We join approximately 50 chapters nationwide and five chapters within Oregon that have changed or plan to change their name. The Coast to Cascades Bird Alliance remains an active chapter of the National Audubon Society. We will continue to collaborate with other chapters nationwide and in Oregon as well as with other local, state, and national organizations to advance our conservation and engagement objectives.
Why the name change?
