Why Join Atlanta Audubon Society as a Chapter Member?

Atlanta Audubon Society offers a chapter membership because of the extent of our activities. You have the option to join Atlanta Audubon Society or National Audubon Society. We encourage you to join both organizations! When you become an Atlanta Audubon Chapter member, you support Atlanta Audubon with your entire membership donation. We'll use every dollar of your contribution locally for conservation, education, and advocacy efforts, all aimed at preserving important wildlife habitat in Georgia.

Members are the reason Atlanta Audubon has been, since 1972, so successful in its efforts to protect birds and the natural environment of Georgia.
