About

Audubon Washington is a field office of the National Audubon Society dedicated to protecting birds and the ecosystems they depend on throughout Washington State. Operating from Seattle with a network of chapters and nature centers that reach over 50,000 people annually, the organization employs science-based conservation, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground habitat restoration to safeguard bird populations and their natural habitats. Audubon Washington focuses on four strategic conservation areas: coastal bird protection, climate change mitigation, working lands management including shrub-steppe ecosystem preservation, and building bird-friendly communities that connect people with nature. Through partnerships with local chapters, volunteer monitoring programs, and community engagement initiatives, Audubon Washington empowers diverse communities to take action in bird conservation and habitat protection.
