Celebrating vision and leadership in urban biodiversity
Join us on October 13 at the 2026 Fall Roost gala as we celebrate Google and Dr. Eric W. Sanderson for their leadership in advancing urban biodiversity in New York City.
Since 2023, NYC Bird Alliance has partnered with Google to monitor biodiversity across its campuses, demonstrating how companies can integrate nature into the built environment. We’re also proud to honor Dr. Eric W. Sanderson, whose groundbreaking research continues to shape biodiversity-informed urban design across the City.
Sponsorships and individual tickets are available online.
