Birds need your help

Welcome to our new site!

Please be patient with us as we are still in the process of updating/changing the site. Feel free to explore what is available now!

Mountaineer Audubon is a local chapter of the National Audubon Society founded in the early 1970s.

 

Our region encompasses Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, and Taylor Counties in North Central West Virginia and the southern portions of Greene and Fayette Counties in Pennsylvania.

Get Involved

We are looking for board members who are interested in growing the sport of birding in the Morgantown area. You do not need to be an expert at bird identification. There are many ways to support the Mountaineer Chapter of National Audubon. If you are interested, drop an email to contact+president

@mountaineeraudubon.org.
