The
Audubon Name
For
most people, the name "Audubon" is synonymous
with birds and bird conservation.
The name "Audubon" has been in the public domain,
to some extent, since the late 1800s.
Please
be aware that various marketers of bird feeders, bird seed,
and other products do use the name "Audubon" without
having any connection to the National Audubon Society or
its network of local chapters, state offices, and education
centers.
For
example, "Audubon International" is a non-affiliated
group that offers a "sanctuary certification"
program for golf courses, and residential and commercial
developments.
It
may be helpful to know that Saw
Mill River Audubon, Audubon
New York, and the National
Audubon Society are not affiliated with "Audubon
International".
There
are over 500 local and state Audubon organizations in North
America. Almost all are chapters or affiliates with the
National Audubon Society, as is Saw Mill River Audubon.
We share similar missions, goals, and activities and work
together.
