Connecting Private Forest Landowners with Georgia's Birding Community!
More than 90% of Georgia’s forests are privately owned. That means there are very limited opportunities for +2,300 Georgia birdwatchers who support an estimated $75 million in annual wildlife watching-related expenditures!
Georgia Bird Bookings is designed to bridge the gap by bringing the birdwatching community to forest landowners across the state.

“This unique partnership will give birders an opportunity to see species that they may not have seen on public lands.
Ultimately, the economic return from this program provides a way to recognize landowners for their investments in stewardship while helping to keep forests as forests."
Nick DiLuzio, Vice President of GFF "We made sure My Outdoor Agent™️ is easy to use and easy to access. You can do it all from within the app, including two-way messaging and secure payment processing so everything is turnkey."
Clarence Neese, CoFounder and Vice President of Orbis, Inc.“Birders are always looking for new places to go birding, and Georgia Bird Bookings will open additional lands for exploration, particularly in areas of the state that don’t have a lot of public lands. This is a win-win for birders and the landowners who sign up for this program.”
Jared Teutsch, Executive Director of Georgia Audubon Society“Timberland Investment Resources, LLC is proud to support Georgia Bird Bookings to strengthen the partnership between Georgia’s forest landowners and our birding communities. We appreciate the work of GFF and Orbis to launch this collaborative program and look forward to seeing it replicated in other forested states.”
