Our Mission

To promote understanding, appreciation, and protection of the biodiversity of the Feather River Region through education, research, and the restoration and conservation of natural ecosystems.

What We Do

Plumas Audubon turned 28 years young in 2017 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:

• Studying Western and Clark's Grebes at lakes around the county. Learn More
• Studying how Flammulated Owls respond to forest thinning known as Defensive Fuel Profile Zones. Learn More
• Helping to train our next generation of conservationists through our Internship Program. 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 Genesee Valley, 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. Learn More
