CALL FOR NOMINATIONS:
LAHONTAN AUDUBON SOCIETY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
​The annual elections for the LAS Board of Trustees typically occurs at our May general membership meeting. As you know, due to the impacts of COVID-19 we have not held an in-person meeting in nearly a year.  As a result, last year we held our first ever online vote for Trustees, and it looks like this year may be our second.  Despite the obstacles presented by the pandemic, your LAS Board has been meeting virtually every month.  Although our activities have been limited this past year, we have been able to offer a few socially distant field trips and have now held three virtual monthly speaker presentations.  With the coming of spring, we hope to be able to expand our activities to include more in person field trips and other events.  But our work is not done, and with three Trustee seats expiring at the end of June with no candidates to fill them, we need your help.

Field trips are Back!

   We are honored to be restarting our public birding field trips, just in time for the Spring migration season. It's easy to join us, simply register online. We would love to have you join us!

Thanks again to all our volunteers!  

​ LAS is the organization it is today because of ALL our volunteers for all the years! THANK YOU!

A BIG THANKS TO VORTEX OPTICS

Lahontan Audubon Society owes a huge thank you to Vortex Optics, ​who each year, for the last 7-plus years, have repaired a box full of well-used (some damaged) LAS binoculars ​used by the 500 or so elementary school children who attended the LAS field trips at Washoe Lake State Park.  Vortex has never charged LAS a penny for this terrific service and has even paid return shipping back to us.   We encourage anyone who may be looking for binoculars to check out Vortex Optics.  ​They have a great variety of binoculars in a wide price range and provide amazing service. 
​Thanks so much, Vortex.
