Stop by the Golden Gate Bird Alliance office and say hello to our capable new Office Manager, Monica Moore!

Monica has a Master’s degree in Divinity and has worked as Minister of Music, Arts, and Worship at several local churches. She is also a talented gospel singer with two young children. Monica is replacing Ben Sisson, who is leaving for a full-time position as Director of Marketing and Communications at the Jewish Community Federation of the East Bay.

Starting on February 16, our revised office hours will be Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9 a.m. until 12 noon. We are also available by appointment at (510) 843-2222 or ggas@goldengatebirdalliance.org. As always, we are located at 2530 San Pablo Avenue, at the corner of Blake, in Berkeley.

Our Healthy Trees, Healthy Birds brochure is now available in Spanish!  This brochure – first published in English last year – explains how to protect nesting birds and their young while providing excellent care for trees. Click here to download a printable PDF of the Arboles Sanos, Aves Sanas. Or email us at ggas@goldengatebirdalliance.org and we can send one to you by postal mail.

Many thanks to the Britton Fund and Roy C. Leggitt, III,  for their support of this project, and to Esther Gray for translation services.
