About Us
The St. Paul Audubon Society is an all-volunteer non-profit organization founded in 1945 as the Saint Paul Bird Club in St. Paul, Minnesota. We are affiliated with the National Audubon Society. The mission of the National Audubon Society 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."
You may or may not know the story of how the National Audubon Society was founded, but most of us these days know that the Audubon Society is one of the most careful, conscientious, and environmentally knowledgeable organizations on the face of the globe. The National Audubon Society does research on many things, from fisheries to forestry to selection of Important Bird Areas.
We work to do the right thing for the environment wherever we are, from picking up trash on a hike to following challenging government decisions and legislation. One of the main goals of the Audubon Society and of our chapter, is to educate the public about the natural world. Because we feel that when people learn how interconnected everything in nature is, they will become more conservation-minded, and take more care to protect their world. They will participate in local decisions. They will contact their legislators when they feel strongly about an issue. And, they want to experience nature first-hand on field trips.
All of our birding programs, birder trips and events are open to the public, and most are free of charge. If you share our love for the beauty and wonder of nature, you are invited to take part in our events. Up-to-date information on the activities of our chapter can be found in our News section. And if you are concerned about the future of the natural world, please join us to help make the world a better place for all creatures. Sometimes, we ask our members to help us promote our issues and causes, with letters, phone calls, and donations.
