Our Mission: "To conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, wildlife and their natural habitats for the benefit of humanity and North Carolina's biological diversity."

If you enjoy exploring the outdoors and wish to discover many natural areas of Forsyth County (as well as some interesting "unnatural" ones, then we're the organization for you. Our "Second Saturday" birdwalks (held on the second Saturday of each month) will acquaint you with the many favorite Birding Spots in Forsyth County such as Historic Bethabara Park, Reynolda and Tanglewood Park. Come visit newer birding hotspots such as Muddy Creek Greenway, Civitan Park and Bethania's Walnut Bottoms. And don't forget that bird mecca, the Archie Elledge Water Treatment Plant.

Members of Audubon take Field Trips to great outdoor places like Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge on the North Carolina Outer Banks or the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and northwest North Carolina. Christmas and Spring Bird Counts, as well as a Pilot Mountain Hawk Watch contribute to citizen science. Also take part in Audubon's Important Bird Areas program through our adoption of Hanging Rock State Park and the New River Corridor.

In line with our mission statement, members also contribute time on local Conservation projects. Currently, we are working with the Town of Bethania to improve habitat at their Walnut Bottoms property and with Historic Bethabara Park to control exotic, invasive Sacret Lotus at the wetland.

Our monthly Chapter Meetings are designed to keep you informed on great birding opportunities, teach you how to identify species of birds, and tell you how you can help in various conservation and environmental protection efforts. Best of all, the meetings enable you to socialize with other birding enthusiasts and make new friendships with like-minded people!
