About this organization
Mission
Michigan Audubon is Michigan's oldest conservation organization whose mission is to connect birds and people for the benefit of both. Established in 1904, it provides opportunities for individuals, families, and children to understand and promote bird conservation in Michigan through education, research, and conservation projects. These projects include maintaining over 3500 acres of sanctuary property that provide habitat for birds and other wildlife, citizen science research projects, and education activities. Michigan Audubon maintains partnerships with state and federal agencies, its affiliate the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory, and environmental non-profit organizations and grassroots projects across the state of Michigan.
