Not Just for the Birds: Citizen Science to Inform Conservation Priorities

The Kansas Land Trust received a Cornell Lab Land Trust Bird Conservation Initiative grant to utilize eBird tools on KLT-protected lands. Our team will work with our partners at the Lawrence Bird Alliance to train KLT volunteers on eBird so we can contribute to this incredible citizen science initiative! If you would like to learn more about how you can volunteer on KLT's protected lands, reach out to pbeedles@klt.org!  

The Kansas Land Trust will also work closely with members of the Cornell Lab Land Trust Bird Conservation team to integrate bird habitat data into KLT conservation planning. This data will enable KLT to refine selection criteria for future KLT-protected properties to ensure that KLT helps protect lands of high ecological significance.
