MISSION STATEMENT
Audubon Dallas supports the conservation of birds and other wildlife, the protection of habitat and biodiversity, and the provision of education and oportunities for our entire community to observe and appreciate birds and nature.

Get Involved
Audubon Dallas relies on the involvement and support of individuals like you to conserve the birds, wildlife, and natural ecosystems of the Dallas area. Find out about your volunteer opportunities.

About Us
Audubon Dallas was incorporated in 1973 as a chapter of the National Audubon Society. Today, Audubon Dallas consists of approximately 2,300 members with a focus on birds and wildlife. One of our primary goals is to raise funds in order to expand our current programs, field trips and volunteer efforts in order to reach more children and family groups. We hope these family programs will foster discussions in the home, and make every family aware of the important role it plays in the local environmental community. We teach about our local flora and fauna including the importance of the preservation of local ecosystems through conservation. We publish a newsletter and keep records of the birds of Dallas County.

NEW PERENNIAL GARDEN AT PARK IN THE WOODS

Audubon volunteer and educator, Mariana Griggs, from nearby Cedar Ridge Preserve, installed a garden of herbs and native flowers in the fenced courtyard of the Park in the Woods Recreation Center in early December. Beds were turned by Mariana and volunteers Ed Noyce from Cedar Ridge Preserve, and Ed and Claudia Meyer from Fox Hollow Homeowners Association.

Lemon grass, sweet marjoram, oregano, mint, wooly thyme, dill, coneflowers, calendula, sage, turk's cap, iris and many other herbs and flowers were purchased using a grant from Audubon Dallas, the chapter that manages Cedar Ridge Preserve. Mariana hopes the garden will inspire young children, teens and adults visiting the Recreation Center to spend time outdoors learning about plants, insects, and the birds and animals that the garden will attract. Mariana is a teacher, naturalist, community gardener, and forensic scientist. She sees the garden as step to understanding nature and its potential in our society.

GULF RESTORATION BILL

Call on your Senators to do the right thing, support the Restore the Gulf Coast Act of 2011 and make a real investment in restoring our Gulf. If you live in the Gulf coast states, your Senators are already on board, except for John Cornyn (R-TX), and have taken on leadership roles to move this process along. We encourage you to thank and support them as they lead this agreement to the next step - full Senate adoption.

For more information on what Audubon is doing and how you can take action to help restore the Gulf go to http://gulfoilspill.audubon.org/

Conservation in Action! -

Third Saturday of Every Month from 9:00-Noon
Habitat Restoration & Trail Maintenance at Cedar Ridge Preserve happens the 3rd Saturday of every month throughout the year, rain or shine. Volunteers remove non-native plants, restore trails, and work in the butterfly garden. Repairing trails reduces erosion trouble spots and removing non-native plants clears crowded trail edges. We'll provide snacks, water, pruning shears, shovels, and work gloves. All you need to bring is sun screen and bug repellent. Questions? Contact info_CRP@yahoo.com

To determine whether an animal or bird you have found needs help, check out the websites and contact information at the bottom of this story on our upcoming baby season. Youl’l also learn what do if your backyard pool has become a popular mallard hangout.
