Indiana Audubon Society

The Indiana Audubon Society (IAS) is the oldest continuously operating conservation organization in Indiana, founded in 1898. It is an independent statewide organization dedicated to fostering appreciation for birds, supporting educational efforts for future generations, and promoting the conservation of Indiana's natural heritage. The IAS stimulates interest in birds and their protection, provides information to various groups, and educates the public on conservation needs. They organize field trips, state meetings, and specific programs like 'Adopt a Shrike' and 'Chasing Melody: Wood Thrush Program' to study and protect bird populations. The organization also engages in scientific research and advocates for bird-friendly practices.
