BRITISH TRUST FOR ORNITHOLOGY

The British Trust for Ornithology has existed since 1933 as an independent, scientific research trust, investigating the populations, movements and ecology of wild birds in the British Isles. Their speciality is the design and implementation of volunteer wild bird surveys. Their partnership between a large number of volunteers and a small scientific staff has proved to be a powerful, productive and cost-effective way of monitoring wild birds. Volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life put their bird-watching skills to good use. They record wild birds systematically using survey methods developed by our scientists, who then compile the records and analyse them for publication. This work makes a direct and vital contribution to bird conservation, by enabling both campaigners and decision-makers to set priorities and target resources.				BTO AIMS To promote understanding, appreciation and conservation of birds using the combined skills of members, other birdwatchers and staff To maintain high scientific and professional standards in all its activities To co-operate with others engaged in relevant research
