Why Membership Matters
Birds move fast. So does the world they live in. When you’re a member of Indiana Audubon, you stay connected to the conversations that matter—from the new challenges birds face each season to conservation wins. Membership is your front-row seat to learning, exploring, and making a difference. It’s how you move from being someone who appreciates birds to someone who knows how to speak up for them—with the facts, the skills, and the community backing you up.
You’ll find new trails to walk, new species to marvel at, and new people who get just as excited about a spring migrant as you do. You’ll get discounted access to field trips and workshops, insider updates, and resources to sharpen your birding skills.
You don’t have to be an expert to be a member. You just have to be curious enough to care—and willing to turn that curiosity into action. Membership gives you the tools. And right now, there’s a little extra in it for you: the chance to win some great gear just for joining or renewing during this membership drive.
Bonus: Membership comes with exclusive perks like discounts on events, early festival registration, and free access to Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Birds of the World ($49/year value). See full membership details here.
