Webinar Summary:
Bird Friendly Webinar with our three Texas Audubon Centers – everyone is invited to enjoy nature and discover an entry point for bird conservation at the center and at home!
Webinar Description:
Did you know Texas has three Audubon Centers? Nationally, Audubon opened its first center, the Greenwich Audubon Center in Connecticut, in 1943. Today the 41 centers in Audubon’s network are places to learn about and enjoy birds and their habitats. They serve as local hubs of conservation opportunities, and afford visitors the ability to connect with the natural world.
Our three wonderful centers include, Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center in Cedar Hill, Mitchell Lake Audubon Center in San Antonio, and Trinity River Audubon Center in Dallas. Together the centers engage thousands of Texans every year in various ways such as:
Academic programming and nature field trips for schools;
Variety of birding tours and workshops for all levels;
Fruitful native plant sales both spring and fall;
Citizen science volunteer opportunities and more.
We invite you to connect with our Audubon center staff on this second Bird Friendly Texan Webinar in August. Let’s hear about their center, programs, and resources to become a conservation leader in your own backyard.
