About SCVAS

The Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society was founded in 1926 and with over 3,000 members is one of the largest National Audubon Society chapters in California. All our programs and efforts are supported by our generous membership. All donations to us are tax-deductible since we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Please join us if you would like to learn more about birds and the environment, participate in our many fun activities, or volunteer to help with one of our numerous programs.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to preserve, to enjoy, to restore and to foster public awareness of native birds and their ecosystems, mainly in Santa Clara County.

To accomplish this mission we will...

• Promote scientifically sound conservation strategies for the protection of native ecosystems and demonstrate the value of conservation to the community.
• Educate our diverse community about the benefits of preserving and enjoying nature, focusing on youth education programs, public outreach, and field trips.
• Support research into maintaining, restoring and understanding native ecosystems, particluarly those of birds.
• Collaborate with Audubon-California, the National Audubon Society, Audubon Chapters, and other organizations to accomplish our common goals.
