Chico underwrites most of the expenses of the banding station, including salaries and education. By paying the birding fee when you visit, your dollars help in two ways: 1) offsetting the current costs, which helps to ensure continuation of the banding site for future years, and 2) providing real outdoor experiences for school kids, which plants the seeds of conservation values.
