Birding through Community Voices
Embracing community-led conservation
Where community, creativity, and nature come together.
CUBs mini-grants 2026
We are accepting proposals until January 9, 2026. Apply here.
At Celebrate Urban Birds (CUBs), our work begins with community—connecting people with birds, nature, and science in meaningful ways. We partner with communities to explore nature through shared knowledge, art, culture, habitat restoration, and community-led science. Rooted in collaboration and guided by local priorities, our work uplifts the voices of communities historically underrepresented in birding and conservation.
Together, we collaborate on meaningful and accessible experiences that deepen connections to birds and nature, and inspire conservation actions that benefit your community.
Celebrate birds with us to build a more vibrant, sustainable planet—together.
Partnering for Impact
By building authentic, long-term partnerships based on trust, with committed organizations, we help amplify community-led efforts and ensure their actions have a lasting impact.
Our Community
Community-led conservation uplifts local voices, cultures, and knowledges. Our partnerships with local communities are at the heart of our work.
