Audubon Arizona

Audubon Arizona's mission is to connect people with nature, using education, science and advocacy to protect birds, other wildlife and their habitats.

Birds matter.

We envision an Arizona with a rich and diverse natural heritage, where there is ample habitat for birds and other wildlife, where a majority of its people appreciate and participate in their natural environment, and whose children are educated and motivated to become the conservation leaders of tomorrow. Audubon Arizona is the state office of the National Audubon Society and operates within the Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Audubon Center in South Phoenix. Located less than two miles from downtown Phoenix, the Center is a gateway to a lush Sonoran riparian habitat used by over 200 species of birds and other wildlife. The free admission Center offers interactive exhibits, an interpretive loop trail, connections to the Rio Salado Habitat's sixteen miles of hiking and riding trails and a variety of programs, including family nature walks, wildlife encounters, birding classes and bird walks, school field trip programs and more.
