Swallow Conservation

Swallow Conservation is a western Massachusetts-based non-profit organization whose goal is to conserve and protect swallows that breed in the Northeastern region of North America. The organization was founded by Mara Silver, who has been working on swallow conservation projects for the past 25 years, primarily Cliff and Barn Swallow projects. She holds a Masters Degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where she researched characteristics of river banks used by nesting Bank Swallows.
