It's the season for giving! There's little doubt that whenever we experience economic downturns that conservation groups receive fewer donations. Here's a gentle reminder to financially support the critters and wilderness we cherish by giving to groups like The Nature Conservancy, International Crane Foundation, American Bird Conservancy, and Operation Migration. Additionally, I like to give to a few rehabilitation groups like the Minnesota Raptor Center and the Raptor Education Group, Inc. for all the caring work they do to rehabilitate injured birds and release them back to the wild. No amount is too small and they'll appreciate anything they receive!
