NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETY
Audubon's mission is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife, and their habitats for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity.

The National Audubon Society, a non-for-profit corporation, is built on a programmatic pyramid of science, education, and public policy. These three programmatic divisions are interrelated and mutually supportive. Science provides a solid basis for what we teach and advocate. Education contributes to grassroots science and helps to build a constituency for public policy. Public policy promotes sound environmental decisions, and supports funding for science and education. The main strategies that Audubon uses to connect science, education, and public policy with people are its Centers, Chapters, citizen science programs, and national outreach.

Audubon’s national network of community-based nature centers and chapters, scientific and educational programs, and advocacy on behalf of areas sustaining important bird populations, engage millions of people of all ages and backgrounds in positive conservation experiences.

SEATTLE AUDUBON
Seattle Audubon is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that shares a mission in common with National Audubon and other local Audubon chapters. Since 1916, Seattle Audubon members and volunteers have continually worked for the protection, restoration and preservation of natural habitat for birds and other wildlife.

Faithful volunteers work hand-in-hand with dedicated staff to provide education programs to children and adults, to engage neighborhoods in citizen science projects, and to protect birds and nature through conservation activities. Field trips give members the opportunity to enjoy birding from waters of Puget Sound to the shrub-steppe of Eastern Washington. Volunteers at the Seattle Audubon Nature Center staff a bird question hotline and sell quality backyard bird supplies and gifts through the Nature Shop.
