About us
Vashon Audubon is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization founded in 1989. Read a history of the chapter’s first 20 years »
Currently we are focusing on two areas:
Climate action — confronting the single biggest threat to birds
Native plants — creating an environment that’s good for birds and people
We also conduct a number of ongoing activities:
Christmas Bird Count – citizen science that helps us track the status of local bird populations
Monthly birding field trips – held on second Saturday mornings. Meet at the Ober Park Park-and-Ride and carpool to Island birding hot spots, 9-11 a.m. fall and winter, 8-10 a.m. spring and summer
Free public presentations featuring expert speakers
Chautauqua fourth grade birding program – cultivating the next generation of birders for more than 25 years
