Audubon California is building a better future for California by bringing people together to appreciate, enjoy and protect our spectacular outdoor treasures. As a dynamic field program of the National Audubon Society with more than 50 affiliated chapters, we are able to provide a rich outdoor experience for our more than 100,000 members and supporters and at the same time promote a variety of robust conservation programs to protect birds, wildlife and habitat across the state.

Audubon California is a non-partisan, non-profit organization responsible for raising our own funds and setting our own strategic course in California.  We have a California board of directors that serves in an advisory capacity, and helps to guide and support our work.

Audubon California focuses on three key strategies to accomplish our goals:

  • Direct conservation
  • Policy & advocacy
  • Education & outreach

Our Mission
Audubon's mission 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.
