The clubs mission is to provide a community for anyone interested in birds, ecology and/or habitat conservation, and offer a chance to get outside for birding with groups and take trips to well-known observation spots. The club will offer networking and fellowships opportunities within the club, and also practice outreach to external birding organizations, establishing strong lines of communication with groups that align with their purpose, values and goals. The group strives to be a space for students to explore the environment through birds, get more experience with birding, and affiliate themselves with others who share their interests.
