Whether you're an experienced birder, or just want to learn more about the amazing wildlife and important habitats in the Grand Valley and Mesa County, we're glad you are interested in our organization.

Protect the birds and we protect the Earth. Like you, birds depend on Colorado's incredible lands and waters. Your donation will protect them by funding conservation science, education, and policy in Colorado. Help us connect people to birds and nature, because where birds thrive, people prosper.

Grand Valley Audubon Society (GVAS) strives to provide information, education, and activities to help everyone get outside and connect with the spectacular natural area we call home.

Mission

We strive to foster an appreciation for birds and other wildlife, preserve a diversity of habitats, and advocate for a sustainable healthy environment through education, research and individual action.

Background Statement

One of GVAS' main projects is maintaining the Preserve which is open to the public for walking, bird-and nature-watching. The Wetland Improvement Project is the management of the ponds, water, surrounding landscape and plants for bird and animal habitat in a natural wetland area.

This is a local chapter of Audubon that offers a monthly program on some aspect of birding, with a speaker and presentation during the Spring, Fall and Winter seasons. Membership offers a bi-monthly digital enews blast for events and updates, a quarterly newsletter with the organization's project news and events. In the fall there is a session of Bird-Banding to band and count species. In December there are bird counting opportunities, and throughout the year there are many Bird Walks and talks including making Bluebird boxes, and counting Western Screech Owls!
