About Friends of Big Bear Valley® (FOBBV®)

We are an environmental educational nonprofit. Our mission is to connect people with nature and to conserve Big Bear Valley, CA, one of the country’s most biologically diverse ecosystems. All fundraising goes into supporting our different programs.

Since our founding in 2001, we have been advocating on behalf of the rare and endangered habitats and species in the area and this important work continues today.
Our most major project in the last twenty years has been the Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest Cams. This fall marks the ten year anniversary of the livestream. We provide it as a public educational benefit year round.
For the last five years we have assisted classrooms that incorporate the livestream in their studies. Last year we reached over 4,000 students with our virtual live Q&A’s. We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our education program this year.
