Our Work in Southwest

Birds need our help. Here's what you can do.

Do you want to take action but aren't sure exactly how? There are many ways to get involved, from planting a bird-friendly garden to volunteering to joining a community of bird and nature lovers.

Connect with Audubon Southwest through our two centers in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Phoenix, Arizona, or a local chapter in your community. 

We're Hiring!
The Director of Community Building will be responsible for developing partnerships and providing education, training and capacity-building opportunities, tools, and mechanisms to build the connectedness, capacity, diversity, and size of the Audubon network in the region.
