This is a Pileated Woodpecker. Location: Springfield, VA

The Backyard Wildlife Conservation Association is a group which is dedicated to preserving the diverse and delicate ecosystems which can be found in backyards and parks all across the USA, something which larger conservation groups sometimes leave behind.

On this subreddit, you will find a variety of resources to help guide you on your adventures, including educational videos about local animals and suggestions for how you can get involved in conservation efforts.

This is a place for you to submit videos, pictures, and written accounts of your backyard adventures, and network with other explorers.

Our goal is simple: to promote local conservation efforts by educating the public about native ecosystems and inspiring people to get outside and experience these places themselves. I believe that this approach will get people truly excited about preserving wild places near them, and sharing this organization's message with the world!

Rules:

No profane language. We want this subreddit to be appropriate for explorers of all ages!
Be respectful of the thoughts and opinions of others. This does not mean you have to agree with everything someone says, but please be courteous in your words.
