Audubon works across the Americas through science, promotion, education and conservation on the ground. Since 1905, Audubon's vision has been a world where people and wildlife thrive. Audubon is a non-profit conservation organization. In 1980, a small group of like-minded people met and formed the Audubon Society of East Lake Washington (ELWAS).
NH Audubon, a state non-profit organization with independent membership of the National Audubon Society, operates three centers (in Auburn, Concord and Hebron) and manages 39 wildlife sanctuaries. The National Audubon Society protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow, across the Americas through science, promotion, education and conservation on the ground. The Audubon Society of Rhode Island is an independent, not-for-profit environmental organization dedicated to environmental education, conservation, and promotion throughout the state. Protecting waterbird populations has been part of Audubon's mission even before the official creation of the National Audubon Society.
The mission of the Audubon Society of Rhode Island is to protect birds, other wild animals and their habitats through conservation, education and promotion, for the benefit of people and all other forms of life. Since acquiring its first wildlife refuge in 1924, the Rhode Island Audubon Society has grown to become one of the largest private landowners in Rhode Island.
