Badgerland Birding started as a Youtube show created by brothers Derek and Ryan Sallmann, highlighting their travels and they explored the state of Wisconsin, learning about birds and birding. Over time, they expanded into birding in different states, going to birding festivals, and also added components of education and conservation. Now, Badgerland Birding LLC, the brothers make content on YouTube, do presentations, events, guiding, and more, in an effort to teach people about birds, conservation, and the excitement of birding.
