Your Travis Audubon membership does more than just benefit you — your support makes a positive impact on the world around you by:
Fostering a thriving birding community by funding every step – from organizing and promoting over 70 free bird walks annually to equipping new birders with binoculars so they can begin their journey with confidence.
Protecting vital bird habitats across our three sanctuaries, preserving more than 735 acres of protected land
Advocating for birds through bird-friendly policies at local, city, state, and federal levels
Educating the next generation with free youth birding camps and our youth birding club

When you join Travis Audubon as a local chapter member, you’re helping support Central Texas birds and other wildlife and their habitats. Here’s what our members have to say about why they joined:
“We joined because we want to support our local and migratory birds; we love Texas natural areas and wildlife; we hope to become more involved and educated in Texas conservation.”
“Thanks to Travis Audubon, I quickly became familiar with the beautiful areas of Travis County and became more comfortable as a new resident.”
“I believe in the mission of TAS, and I think it’s especially important to protect wildlife and peoples’ ability to view and interact with wildlife safely and ethically (even more so within urban areas, where it can be difficult or impossible for underserved populations). Travis County has so many beautiful places, birds, and animals that deserve protection.”
Travis Audubon is committed to making birding available to everyone! Scholarships for individuals and families are available now. Submit the application below and a Travis Audubon staff member will contact you to determine your eligibility. Apply for a scholarship here.
