Greetings Friend,

We are in the early stages of planning the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin's 12th annual Point Reyes Birding & Nature Festival slated for the weekend of April 22nd - 25th, 2021. However, we also know we are in a pandemic with many unknowns, and an increased level of planning needs depending on where we are in April.

To that end, I am asking our community, including folks who have attended or have interest in attending the festival, to take 5 minutes to fill in our pre-event survey by November 10th to help our committee take flight in our planning endeavors. You can use the optional additional comments area to detail any concerns or questions you may have that we didn't cover. I thank you in advance for your participation. Click here to take the survey.

I also want to to take this opportunity to thank the many sponsors and attendees who stuck with us this spring when we had to cancel the festival. Your support, along with our Payroll Protection loan helped us continue our vital work this spring. Through the support of the donors listed below, we were able to offer a series of free festival webinars (see below), which are available online for you to enjoy.

In addition, you're invited to join us Thursday, November 12th at 12 pm for our upcoming educational meeting on Our Coastal Climate: Rising Seas in West Marin. Register and learn more. 

Lastly, I am inspired by how you and our community are finding new ways to connect, and we look forward to sharing our mission with you in new and creative ways in 2021 as we navigate this pandemic together. 

In gratitude, 

 
 

Morgan Patton, Executive Director
