NCW Audubon Weekend in the Methow June 6 -7

 North Central Washington Audubon Society has a large geographic area, covering four counties – Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan and Ferry – and a diverse membership. Last year the board decided to explore the farther reaches of our region and get to know more of our members. For our first foray we will have a weekend-long field trip to explore the Methow Valley, see some of its birds, learn about some its conservation challenges and opportunities and get to know our extended membership. We (the board) hope that this will be the first of an annual series of visits to learn from others and explore areas around our region. More info here...

Goals, Hopes, Aspirations, and Plans of the North Central Washington Audubon Society, from chapter president Mark Oswood:

  • We promote resource decisions based on the best available data. Many times, differences dissolve and solutions coagulate when people have good information.
  • We try to be honest brokers in environmental conflicts. Our aim is to serve the same function as mucous in the human body; lubricate and trap foreign particles.
  • Sustainable economies are the only road into the future. Ecology and economy derive from the same root word.
  • We do birds – watch them, count them, protect them. Birds are one of the grandest expressions of life.
  • We believe in citizen science and life-long learning. We can all be scholars.
  • We are “outside consultants” – leading field trips, holding outdoor classes, and doing “dirt work.” A meadow of spring flowers, ravens doing acrobatics, and a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis are best experienced viscerally, not virtually.
