Thank you for entering your birdwatching information along the Great River Birding Trail (GRBT) (areas within 30 miles of the Mississippi River).  This effort will assist us in measuring and communicating the current and potential social and economic impacts of birdwatching activities along the GRBT in Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri.  This information, coupled with conservation benefits of the Trail, will assist non-governmental organizations such as Audubon, natural resources and tourism agencies, and corporate partners in completing the Trail in the Lower Mississippi River area.  It will also allow rural land planners and policy makers to assess benefits from various management options on areas related to the Trail.  Furthermore, it will be useful for developing marketing and policy related strategies related to promoting nature tourism and resource management oriented towards birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and conservation.

Please enter information for your trips as often as you like throughout the year.  Please use a separate survey for each trip you are reporting. (For example, if you wish to enter information for two trips, please use two surveys.)
