The National Audubon Society has over 510 local Chapters. The chances are good that the National Audubon Society is working to protect birds and other wildlife in your own backyard. Local Chapters throughout the Americas publish newsletters, sponsor field trips and education programs, and do advocacy work at the state level, all on behalf of the environment. If you join the National Audubon Society, you automatically become a member of your chapter if there is one in your area. These chapters hold regular meetings and host bird hikes.
Programs are often about birds.
Chapter meetings are a great place to meet other birders in your home town. Many Audubon Societies are not affiliated with National Audubon. In some cases, they were created before National Audubon even existed. This solid narrative biography is the first popular life of the artist in a quarter century. This handsome volume tells the fascinating story of this flamboyant artist's life as a frontier naturalist.
