On April 29, at the Ventura Coast Brewing Company, The Ventura Audubon Society had a fundraiser called “Raise the Roost party“ along with a silent auction.
This fundraiser benefits the Shorebird Recovery Program for the snowy plover and least tern nesting season on Ormond and Hollywood Beaches, which has just begun and continues through September.
Proceeds will support nest monitoring, habitat protection including fencing, signage, trail cameras, plus supplies for volunteers in our community stewardship program and the Volunteer Beach Naturalists. Community members, and Ventura guests came out and where able to purchase a limited-edition logo glass, meet the Shorebird team and participate in the silent auction featuring items from local business. Some folks brought their dogs and took the Dog Rangers pledge! Bidding for the auction started on Friday, April 28th and ran through Sunday, April 30th.
