Celebrating
the return of the shorebirds is not enough. We want
to ensure that future generations can experience and
enjoy this great migration too. The Festival's goal
is to educate people about birds and to highlight
the significance of habitat conservation. The
Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival is not a fundraising
event. The Festival budget is limited to cover basic
administrative expenses and provide free and low
cost educational events. If the Festival generates
any proceeds after covering expenses, they are
allocated towards education, research, and
protection of bird habitat. The Shorebird Education
and Conservation Fund has been established to
support those projects.
