Each year a portion of the proceeds from the Mono Basin Bird Chautauqua fund a small grant that supports continuing research and education connections. The grant is named in honor of Jeff Maurer, a dedicated field biologist, educator, and long-time Chautauqua presenter who passed away last year. The Jeff Maurer Chautauqua Research Grant prospectus is available, and this year we are pleased to offer a $2,000 grant to further research and education connections in the Eastern Sierra.
