Indiana Audubon Society believes strongly in making birding a safe and accessible activity for all people, regardless of race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
We believe continuing efforts, discussions and action, no matter how uncomfortable at times, are needed to further ensure that birding and nature enjoyment is safe and accessible for everyone. We pledge to continue to support those that share our values and strive to make the outdoors truly accessible for everyone.
Indiana Audubon Society's mission is to engage communities in the enjoyment of birds in their habitat, through conservation, education, and research.
