Mission

Founded in 1902, the Audubon Society of Portland promotes the understanding, enjoyment, and protection of native birds, other wildlife and their habitats. We focus on our local community and the Pacific Northwest. We have worked to secure a region-wide system of Greenspaces with trails to access them - places where you can enjoy nature and wildlife and where habitats are protected. We offer people of all ages and abilities a wide variety of hands-on natural history programs. Each year, we provide enriching educational trips, camps, and tours to over 18,000 schoolchildren and more than 2,000 adults. Our Wildlife Care Center cares for over 3,500 orphaned and injured wild animals each year. We are one of National Audubon Society's most active local chapters, with more than 7,500 members.
