About this organization
Mission
The Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society promotes the enjoyment, understanding, and protection of birds and other wildlife by engaging people of all ages in birding, education, and conservation. To accomplish this mission we... Promote scientifically sound conservation strategies for the protection of native ecosystems and demonstrate the value of conservation to the community. Educate our diverse community about the benefits of preserving and enjoying nature, focusing on youth education programs, public outreach, and field trips. Support research into maintaining, restoring, and understanding native ecosystems, particularly those of birds. Collaborate with the National Audubon Society, Audubon-California, Audubon Chapters, and other organizations to accomplish our common goals.
About
Advocacy - SCVAS is one of the most active and successful advocacy organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area. We work in cooperation with other stakeholders on issues that are critical to preserving birds, and wildlife, and habitat. Our Environmental Advocate, Shani Kleinhaus, and Environmental Action Committee (EAC) are currently working on many efforts which include: promoting bird-safe design planning in the cities of Mountain View, Cupertino, and San Jose; engaging in state, regional, and local planning efforts to protect birds and wildlife, including writing countless letters to councils and agencies, speaking out at public meetings, and collaborating with decision makers across multiple jurisdictions. We are also preparing for Audubon Advocacy Day in June where we will work with legislators to increase state support for birds and wildlife habitat conservation. SCVAS has a long history of reviewing and commenting on many California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents as an important means of protecting birds and their habitats in the Bay Area. On a more intimate level, we work with local neighborhoods and institutions to implement bird-friendly landscapes and building design. In addition to our own advocacy work, we also support National Audubon Society yearly goals and projects, which impact bird habitats and open space conservation.
