Travis Audubon relies on several vital committees to carry out our important work, with a focus on youth programs, advocacy, education, field trips, and specific projects like the Purple Martin and Chimney Swift initiatives. Volunteers are key to these efforts, attending committee meetings every other month, and have the option to take on more time-intensive tasks, allowing them to make an even greater impact on our mission.
