Prairie Lakes Audubon Chapter

                                           

Prairie Lakes Audubon Chapter of the National Audubon Society serves west-central Minnesota in the Alexandria area.  

Our mission is to gather and empower people of all ages, around a shared love of birds.   We engage through:

     * Regular meetings to learn about specific birds and conservation efforts to improve their habitat.  

     * Field Trips to observe birds in nature and share our knowledge about them with one another.  

     * Providing and monitoring nest boxes for osprey, bluebirds, and purple martins.

     * Hosting special events to educate and engage people in the community about bird life and care.

Our Fundraising Story

 It is our goal this year to raise funds to help build new bluebird houses for locations such as Brophy County Park, Carlos State Park, and Kensington Rune Stone Park. We are also looking at repairing or replacing any purple martin houses that have sustained any possible damage over the past year.  We would like to be able to add additional purple martin houses as needed also. These bird species rely heavily on our support to find nesting sites due to loss of habitat and competition with other bird species.  We are also looking to provide walkie talkies for birding field trips to provide better communication between groups.  Lastly, we can use the funds to enhance our community education projects, such as our participation in Earth Day in our community. 

Donate now to Prairie Lakes Audubon Chapter and help us meet our goal of $1,500 as we seek to continue our efforts to support birds

and educate people about what birds need to survive and thrive. 

 

We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
