Our mission is to promote conservation and a greater knowledge of birds, their habitats, and the natural world.
Founded in 1946 as the Birmingham Audubon Society, Alabama Audubon has since grown to become our state’s leading nonprofit promoting conservation and a greater knowledge of birds, their habitats, and the natural world. While we’re certified as a chapter of the National Audubon Society, we are a separate 501(c)(3) that relies on your support to carry out our outreach and conservation work. By giving directly to Alabama Audubon, you ensure that every dollar stays in our state for the benefit of our birds and bird lovers.
As Alabama’s only staffed Audubon entity, we work closely with our partners at Tennessee Valley Audubon Society, Mobile Bay Audubon Society, and Shoals Audubon Society to strengthen the Audubon network and connect all of our state’s residents with conservation opportunities. We have staffed offices in Birmingham, Greensboro, and Mobile.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Through more than seventy-five years of conservation work in one of our nation’s most ecologically rich states, Alabama Audubon has seen firsthand how diversity strengthens natural communities. We believe that the same principle applies to human communities, which is why our organization is committed to providing equitable opportunities for all Alabamians to learn about and enjoy wild birds, their habitats, and the natural world. One of the best ways to support that belief is by valuing and actively seeking to strengthen diversity among our staff, our board, and our membership. To that end, Alabama Audubon welcomes the whole of our community to our work, and strives to make our programs, classes, and events open and accessible to all.
