Bently Holdings

Bently Holdings has long been a strong supporter of the Point Reyes Bird Observatory in support of their efforts to study and preserve the animals in and around the Farallon islands. The Point Reyes Bird Observatory, Founded in 1965, is dedicated to conserving birds, other wildlife and ecosystems through innovative scientific research and outreach. Many people may not know about the work of PRBO conservation science and if they do, probably not the extent of work they do. PRBO is involved in studies around the world and sits on one of the most sought after information databases of research information ever accumulated. The research done by PRBO is used by dozens of scientific and government agencies around the globe to determine not only the health of a particular ecosystem and its inhabitants but also what is first and foremost on everyones mind, the effects of Global Warming.

For 2007, PRBO together with Bently Holdings hosted the Blue Ball, a celebration fund raiser at the Bently Reserve, September 27th in honor of the 40 years of conducting research at the Farallon Islands and their 35 year partnership with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The Blue Ball was a spectacular event raising over $120,000.00 for the continuing efforts at the islands. PRBO has been an instrumental force in the cleanup of the recent Cosco ship oil spill. The Bently’s are so impressed with the organization and efforts of PRBO that both Christopher and Amber Marie sit on the non profit’s board of directors.
