Our Mission

​The mission of Plumas Audubon is to promote understanding, appreciation, and protection of the biodiversity of the Feather River Region, especially birds, through education, research, and the restoration and conservation of natural ecosystems.

What We Do

Plumas Audubon turned 31 years young in 2020 and our conservation efforts have just begun. We continue to host informative programs and events, sponsor field trips to the best birding spots around the county, and coordinate Christmas Bird Counts, but we also do so much more:

• Monitoring and advocating for Western and Clark's Grebes at Lake Almanor. Learn More
• Engaging youth and fostering their connection to the land. We get kids outdoors and help them appreciate the amazing biological diversity in their own backyards. Learn More
• In Quincy, our Quincy Watershed Improvement Project (QWIP) will create a 665-acre fire break near the southern border of Quincy, along with protecting the botanical, wildlife, and archeological resources within the project area. Learn More
• In Genesee Valley, as apart of our Genesee Valley Watershed Improvement Project (GVWIP) in collaboration with Feather River Land Trust, we have been working with a diverse group of collaborators to improve forest health, incorporate Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and use fire to help restore forests and protect the community.
