The Lahontan Audubon Society a chapter of the National Audubon Society, based in Reno and serving all of northern Nevada, represents over 1,000 memberships of conservation-minded individuals and families.
We seek to help restore, preserve, and improve habitat for birds and other wildlife and to provide education about birds and their habitats in Nevada and adjacent areas of California.
Our other primary activities include guided birding trips for the public and for school groups, site clean-ups and improvements, annual birding classes, and Christmas Bird Count. We publish occasional position papers on key Nevada conservation area issues, and we participate in or partner with various Nevada conservation agencies and groups.
Our newsletter The Pelican and the Audubon Nevada Birds List Server disseminate Nevada birding information.
Our flagship conservation effort is our Nevada Important Bird Areas program, headed by Director of Bird Conservation Robin Powell, part of a hemispheric program to identify and preserve key bird habitat areas.
We invite your involvement or membership.
