Our Mission & History

The mission of the Jayhawk Audubon Society is to provide opportunities for greater understanding and appreciation of birds and other wildlife, to encourage sustainable practices, and to advocate for actions and policies which result in protection and preservation of intact ecological ecosystems.

We endeavor to promote this mission in all we do including education and awareness projects, field trips and public programs. We seek partnerships and work with other organizations locally, statewide, nationally and internationally to support those who share our goals and pass along opportunities for everyone to be involved in this mission.

Jayhawk Audubon Society was organized in 1970 and chartered by National Audubon in spring of 1971. All of our resources are available to the public free of charge and our meetings and field trips are always open to the public.
