Witness firsthand how migratory birds rely on the Eastern Shore as a critical stopover on their long journeys—and learn why protecting these habitats is vital to their survival.

Our region plays a key role in providing food, shelter, and safe passage for countless bird species. From wetlands to farmland, these landscapes are lifelines—but only if we safeguard them with clean water and healthy ecosystems. 🌊
