Be an Ambassador
Please fill out this form if you'd like to become an ambassador for the Great Backyard Bird Count.
If you’re interested in helping spread the word about the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), you can become one of our special GBBC ambassadors. Your contribution may be as simple as distributing the GBBC poster in your area. Or you can do more, by printing the news release off this website and sending it to your local paper, bird club, library, birding store, and other locations.
Some people give presentations on how to do the GBBC with the help of the PowerPoint slide program we provide on this website. Last year, ambassadors coordinated GBBC events at nature centers, senior centers, and other locations. You can choose what you'd like to do.
Many reporters tell us that they want to cover the GBBC by focusing on a local participant. Media ambassadors consent to be interviewed for local stories about the project. If we get an inquiry from a reporter in your area, you give us permission to pass along your contact information so they can pursue a story about the Great Backyard Bird Count.
All ambassador materials are available online or, if you prefer, we will gladly mail a packet to you.
Packet materials
- 2010 News Release
- 2009 Poster/brochure (2010 poster coming)

Thank you, ambassadors! We sincerely appreciate your help.
