MISSION STATEMENT
Audubon Dallas supports the conservation of birds and other wildlife, the protection of habitat and biodiversity, and the provision of education and oportunities for our entire community to observe and appreciate birds and nature.

Get Involved
Audubon Dallas relies on the involvement and support of individuals like you to conserve the birds, wildlife, and natural ecosystems of the Dallas area. Find out about your volunteer opportunities.

About Us
Audubon Dallas was incorporated in 1973 as a chapter of the National Audubon Society. Today, Audubon Dallas consists of approximately 2,300 members with a focus on birds and wildlife. One of our primary goals is to raise funds in order to expand our current programs, field trips and volunteer efforts in order to reach more children and family groups. We hope these family programs will foster discussions in the home, and make every family aware of the important role it plays in the local environmental community. We teach about our local flora and fauna including the importance of the preservation of local ecosystems through conservation. We publish a newsletter and keep records of the birds of Dallas County.

WHITE ROCK LAKE PARK'S WINFREY POINT

On Monday, May 7, 2012, the Board of Directors of Audubon Dallas approved the following message to our members.

A controversy recently arose regarding the mowing of prairie areas at Winfrey Point to allow parking for the Dallas Arboretum. Audubon Dallas supports protecting all natural areas at White Rock Lake and opposes using any Winfrey Point prairie areas for temporary or permanent parking.

We urge all chapter members to inform yourselves and make your own choice about signing an online petition against city and Arboretum actions to disturb the Winfrey Point prairies.

If you are a resident of Dallas, we urge you to contact your city council representative to express your opinion
