Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance's Statement on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The birds Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance pledges to protect differ in color, size, behavior, geographical preference, and countless other ways. As we honor and celebrate the equally remarkable diversity of the human species, Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance considers the work of inclusion, diversity, and equity a top priority moving forward. We hope that, in doing so, we can bring new creativity and energy to our work in Washtenaw County and beyond for birds and people alike.

Respect, inclusion, and opportunity for people of all backgrounds, lifestyles, and perspectives will attract the best ideas and harness the greatest passion to shape a healthier, more vibrant future for all of us who share our planet. We believe that protecting and conserving nature and the environment transcends political, cultural, and social boundaries. As an organization, we are committed to increasing the diversity of our board, volunteers, members, and supporters.

As an organization, Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance strives to create a sense of community where all people can feel safe to explore nature and experience the wonder of birds.

We respect the individuality of each member of our community, and welcome all without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, national or ethnic origin, politics, or veteran status, or any other status.

All are welcome to bird with us, learn with us, and to share our passion for birds and the environment.
