About Audubon Texas

Protecting Birds in the Lone Star State.

For more than a century, Audubon has been a leader in bird and habitat conservation, powered by a passionate network of members, chapters, centers, state offices, dedicated staff, and partners. Together, we connect people with nature and inspire action to protect it. By bringing together science, education, and policy expertise, we restore vital habitats, advocate for strong conservation policies, and safeguard birds, wildlife, and the natural resources that sustain both birds and people across the hemisphere. 

In Texas, Audubon’s work is creating lasting benefits for birds and communities alike, from expanding community-based conservation in Bird City Texas communities to advancing responsibly sited clean energy. By ensuring that habitats across the state remain healthy and resilient, we help species like the Black Skimmer and Lincoln’s Sparrow successfully nest and raise future generations. At the same time, these efforts support clean air and water, healthy soils, carbon storage, flood protection, and meaningful outdoor experiences for Texans today and for generations to come.

Texas Chapters

Casual bird watchers. Lifelong birders. Impassioned advocates for our natural heritage. A grassroots network that spans the continent. Members of Texas's twenty local Audubon chapters are as diverse as the geographic regions they represent. Chapter members embody the simple enjoyment of birds and the projects that help preserve them. They create a culture of  conservation in local communities through education and advocacy, focusing on the conservation of birds, other wildlife and conservation of important habitats.
