OUR MISSION |
To preserve and improve the remaining habitat of birds and other wildlife, restore historical habitat, and educate people, especially children, about birds in our unique Nevada environments.
|
At the Lahontan Audubon Society, our goal is to create a welcoming birding community where people of all backgrounds can feel a sense of belonging. We are committed to celebrating diversity, promoting equity, and breaking down barriers to inclusion. We welcome all birders to come as they are, regardless of experience, background, race, color, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, age, ability, or nationality/ethnicity.
Actions and Commitments:
As an organization, we are actively working towards being more inclusive by:
- Promoting equitable access to field trips and educational events through Audible Bird Walks for the blind, Mindful Bird Walks, bilingual bird walks, and making binoculars available to borrow for all event attendees.
- Prioritizing Title I public schools in Nevada for educational programming.
- Incorporating Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDIB) training in our board meetings and volunteer training.
- Including a land acknowledgement on our website and partnering with local indigenous tribes to provide educational opportunities and collaborate on conservation issues.
