What We Do

NYC Audubon champions nature in the city’s five boroughs through a combination of engaging and entertaining programs, and innovative conservation campaigns. Through its efforts, NYC Audubon saves and protects over 350 species of birds that live in the 12,000 acres of vast and diverse wetlands, forests and grasslands of New York City.

Programs:
NYC Audubon is a leader in conservation and protection of New York City’s bird population. NYC Audubon initiates and supports legislation and programs to protect birds – such as Lights Out New York and the Harbor Herons Project. NYC Audubon also offers classes and seminars about the city’s bird population, and leads outdoor tours and excursions to experience New York City’s bird life first hand. Programs are available for and geared toward children, young adults and adults.
