Company Profile

Company Description:

Mission

Birds connect us with the joy and wonder of nature. By telling vivid, sound-rich stories about birds and the challenges they face, BirdNote inspires listeners to care about the natural world — and take steps to protect it.

Vision

As listeners tune in to the lives of birds, their connection with nature deepens. They become champions for conservation and stewards of places important to birds and people.

Commitment to Centering Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility

BirdNote operates on the simple premise that the joy of birds is a unifying force between people of all walks of life. In January 2022 the BirdNote Board of Directors unanimously adopted our policy on Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility. Read the full policy here.
