| Mission Statement |
 |
| Mecklenburg Audubon Society is dedicated to the conservation and restoration of natural ecosystems, focusing on birds and other wildlife for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity. |
| Brief History |
| Originally
established as a local bird club in the late thirties by Elizabeth
and Eddie Clarkson of Wing Haven, the Mecklenburg Audubon
Society became the first official chapter of the National
Audubon Society in 1970. Mecklenburg Audubon has a long, productive
history of bird conservation in the Charlotte area. The current
membership of over 1,000 members comes from all walks of life
but has one common interest - protecting habitat for birds
and other wildlife. We want to share our love of nature with
others through educational outreach, citizen science and community
partnerships. |
