Welcome to BRANT Local Workshops, a unique way to improve your birding skills for particular groups of birds or types of birding. Workshops generally include a short classroom presentation followed by a field session. We now offer local workshops in several locations across the USA. As part of our continuing commitment to conservation, we donate $25 of every workshop registration to one of our local non-profit partners.
BRANT is an international nature travel company built around what we call Responsible Ecotourism. We run world class birding and nature tours, and we make sure the people and wildlife at every destination benefit from our visits as much as we do. Ten percent of every dollar BRANT makes goes straight back to conservation and local communities.
From Alaska and the American Southwest to Central America and beyond, our tours are led by guides who know the birds, the places and the people. Small groups, real field time and itineraries built around what is actually happening on the ground.
