Detroit Audubon

Detroit Audubon fosters the appreciation and conservation of birds and the environment we share.

Detroit Audubon has been protecting birds and the environment since 1939.

Our 8,000+ constituents stretch from St. Clair County to Ann Arbor to the Ohio State Line.

Detroit Audubon’s name should reflect our diverse community and our shared values of conservation, equity and inclusion. We are disappointed in National Audubon’s decision to keep the Audubon name. Our board of directors is currently discussing a new name.

Important Update: Detroit Audubon has moved office locations to 4840 Mt. Elliott Detroit, MI 48207.
