The Eastern Sierra is remarkable in its habitat diversity. From vast sagebrush deserts, saline lakes, and pinyon-juniper woodlands to coniferous forests, alpine meadows, glacial lakes, and the rocky tundra, our lands support extraordinary birdlife. At the Eastern Sierra Bird Alliance, we are proud to protect these lands and advocate for the birds that call them home. To learn more about the habitats in our region, check out our Important Bird Areas page.

Our Science and Conservation Committee is committed to protecting birds and their habitats through sponsoring local projects and staying current on regional conservation issues. You can learn more on our Sponsored Projects page.

Our chapter actively participates in public comment opportunities on local, state, and federal policy decisions that affect birds and habitats in our region. These comment letters respond to proposed actions such as endangered species listings, habitat restoration plans, invasive species removals, and other regulatory decisions. By submitting comments, we advocate for science-based conservation and help shape policies that protect the places and species we care about.

Other current conservation issues we track include proposed actions and protections for sensitive bird species and habitats in our region, such as the Bi-State Sage Grouse, the southwestern willow flycatcher, Mono Lake, and Owens Lake.

We’re always looking for volunteers that help us work towards our mission. If you have questions about local conservation efforts or are interested in getting involved, please contact info@easternsierrabirds.org.
