Organization Overview:
Since 1996, the International Hummingbird Society has been dedicated to helping hummingbirds by educating
people about them and working internationally to protect them. Through our work, we strive to inspire people to
learn more about hummingbirds, understand the threats to their conservation, and take action to protect them.
Specifically, we:
● Seek out, assess, and fund conservation projects focused on critically endangered hummingbird
species.
● Educate and raise awareness about hummingbirds through our website, local presentations, written
materials, call center, and Sedona Hummingbird Festival.
● Expand habitat by encouraging gardening for hummers through our Certified Hummingbird Haven
program.
● Increase understanding of population trends through our local hummingbird banding and monitoring
projects.
● Celebrate hummingbirds at our annual Sedona Hummingbird Festival.
Volunteer Tasks Include:
- small office projects, data collection and analysis,
- hummingbird feeder maintenance in public areas,
- informing people about gardening for hummingbirds and proper feeder
maintenance,
- manning our information table at local events, conducting fundraising events and projects, and
- helping us prepare for the July 2026 Sedona Hummingbird Festival
