Chicago Audubon Society

Chicago Bird Alliance (formerly Chicago Audubon Society) connects Chicago residents with birds and nature through comprehensive educational programming, field trips, advocacy, stewardship, and research initiatives. The organization focuses on native plant gardening for birds, habitat restoration, and bird conservation across the Chicago region. With over 50 years of continuous engagement through programs like weekly bird walks at Jackson Park and seasonal birding outings, CBA empowers community members to observe, study, and conserve local native birds and wildlife. The organization offers volunteer opportunities for habitat restoration work days, native plant sales, and participation in conservation projects, making it accessible for both experienced birders and newcomers to contribute to Chicago's ecological health.
