We welcome your attendance at Board Meetings. Please call in advance if you plan to attend.

While the Audubon Society welcomes all to participate in their activities, we also encourage membership – either in our local chapter or through the National Audubon Society. Membership is available at various levels as explained on the membership page: Join Audubon. Dues support the newsletter and local environmental activities such as scholarships to summer camps at the Nature Center, payments to special guest speakers, and other program expenses. Membership in the National Society, designating the Highlands Plateau Chapter as your home chapter, includes membership in the local chapter as well. Membership information is available at all meetings.

Also, see Join Audubon on the sidebar at the left.
