Mission

Audubon’s mission is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife, and their habitats for the benefit of humanity and the earth’s biological diversity.

Audubon Texas is the state program of the National Audubon Society.  Through Audubon Centers and in partnership with local chapters, we connect people of all ages and backgrounds to nature through our conservation and education programs.  We are committed to ensuring that every child in Texas participates in a natural resource education program that will improve critical thinking skills while connecting students to nature. 

Audubon Texas is working to restore over 1 million acres of grasslands, oversee 13,000 acres of critical coastal habitat and educate 50,000 students on an annual basis.
