Audubons

Audubons is a term that can refer to several related entities, most notably the National Audubon Society. The National Audubon Society is an American non-profit environmental organization dedicated to conservation, research, and education on behalf of birds and their habitats. Founded in 1905, it is named after the famous American ornithologist and naturalist John James Audubon.

The organization operates through a network of state offices, sanctuaries, and local chapters across the United States. Its work encompasses a wide range of activities, including protecting endangered bird species, preserving natural habitats such as wetlands and forests, and advocating for environmental policies. Audubon also engages in extensive public outreach and education programs, aiming to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of nature among people of all ages.

In addition to the National Audubon Society, the term "Audubon" might also be used to refer to individual Audubon Centers or Audubon Sanctuaries, which are facilities managed by the society for conservation and public access. These locations often provide opportunities for birdwatching, nature walks, and educational programs. Furthermore, the name "Audubon" itself is strongly associated with John James Audubon's legacy, particularly his influential and scientifically significant multi-volume work, "The Birds of America."
