| CONSERVATION PROJECTS The Audubon Society of Northern Virginia (ASNV) conservation programs are scientifically-based activities to learn more about the distribution of birds and other wildlife in Northern Virginia. Wherever possible, we work in partnership with other conservation organizations and public agencies to help protect and enhance important habitat areas. Northern Virginia Bird Survey (NVBS)In June 2008, the 15th Annual Northern Virginia Bird Survey (NVBS), a comprehensive study of breeding birds, will be conducted at 25 Northern Virginia sites. Thanks to the efforts of 228 volunteers, over 136,000 birds have been counted. The NVBS database contains over 73,000 records, each with ten categories of information about an individual bird species at a single survey point. The data is shared with resource managers of parks and other public lands, who rely on it for tracking trends in breeding bird numbers and distributions, and as baseline data for behavioral studies, comprehensive park inventories, development of resource management plans, and land use decisions. Below are the results from the 2007 and 2006 NVBS. How can you help?
