Connecting Birds, People, & Communities

With 93,000 members and 27 affiliated chapters state-wide, Audubon New York oversees seven sanctuaries and centers, from Long Island to western New York.  Through traditional and innovative partnerships, we work together to educate and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards while helping people and communities discover just how practical and rewarding conservation can be.  Every preserved or created habitat demonstrates a commitment to preserving New York's wildlife heritage.  Together, we can achieve conservation at scale.

When birds thrive, people prosper.  Ecosystems recover.  Economies grow.  Quality of life is enhanced.  Together, we can pass on New York's rich natural treasures to new generations.
