About Us

Our Mission
Our mission is identical to that of the National Audubon Society, but on a local level: to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife, and their habitats for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity. 

About Stockbridge Audubon Society
Stockbridge Audubon is part of a national network of community-based nature centers and chapters.  We 
- provide scientific and educational programs;
- advocate on behalf of areas sustaining important bird populations; and
- engage people of all ages and backgrounds in positive conservation experiences.

The club was named after Charles Stockbridge, a local postal worker and birder who was born in 1856 and became nationally known as an ornithologist. To learn more about Charles Stockbridge, click here.
Stockbridge Activities:

  • Field trips: Open to the public, field trips are a great way to learn more about the birds, make friends, and learn about our local flora and fauna. No experience is necessary and we welcome anyone who is interested. See Events for more details.
  • Education: Our meetings often include speakers who facilitate in-depth discussions on a wide variety of topics.  The club welcomes new members and is happy to learn from and teach new members.
  • Scientific Support: Club members attend bird counts and other activities in support of local and national programs that track biodiversity. Many of our members are recognized regionally and nationally as ornithological experts.
  • Grants: We offer grants for projects that further our mission in Northeast Indiana. Read more about the grant program here.
