NCWAS Website Makeover....
we need YOUR help!

As anyone who visits our virtual spaces on the web knows, NCWAS is in desperate need of a website make-over. We’ve received quotes for a basic web redesign as well as for an exciting new project: a regional on-line birding guide. The quotes are very reasonable by industry standards, yet even the basic website redesign alone would commit a sizeable portion of our annual chapter funds. Therefore, we’re asking for your sponsorship to re-vamp our online presence.  Donations in any amount will be greatly appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.  Please mail to NCWAS (P.O. Box 2934, Wenatchee, WA  98807-2934) and include a note indicating your contribution is for the website upgrade. 
For more information, please read the article in the April Wild Phlox.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

North Central Washington Audubon Society, a local chapter of the National Audubon Society, is dedicated to furthering the knowledge and the conservation of the environment of North Central Washington, our Nation, and the World.

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.
