Five Valleys Audubon conducts bird surveys to document bird populations and identify important habitat that demonstrates the need for conservation involving conservation easements, protecting critical habitats from human disturbance and restoration of degraded habitats. Bird surveys are conducted periodically in the Clark Fork River-Grass Valley Important Bird Area and elsewhere in Western Montana when we identify opportunities to influence how land is to be managed and developed. The best opportunities arise when we partner with other organizations such as land trusts, city and county governments and Montana Audubon.
