Local Chapters

There are 30 independent, affiliated chapters in the Upper Mississippi River region, based in communities throughout Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. These organizations offer the most hands-on ways to get involved locally with birds and conservations. They offer inspiring public programming, host accessible bird outings, educate the community on birds and the environment, and in some cases own and manage natural spaces of their own.
