Diversity Statement

The Audubon Society of Portland believes that inspiring all people to love and protect nature is best achieved when we embrace diversity as a value and practice. In the same way an ecosystem needs many types of plants and wildlife, an organization thrives when it includes a diversity of people and perspectives. We recognize that inequities are widespread and create gaps between our present reality and our aspirations. Portland Audubon is committed to:

Reflecting the diversity of the community in our board, staff, volunteers, and members.
Ensuring our internal culture, business practices, and programs are welcoming and advance our diversity goals.
Empowering people to make positive changes in their community and environment.

Our Work

Conservation: We protect and advocate for birds and other wildlife in our city and across the region. We also work to ensure all Portland-area residents have easy access to nature.

Education: Our expert educators offer environmental camps, classes and trips for all ages.

Wildlife rehabilitation: Our Wildlife Care Center provides specialty care for native wild animals that are injured or orphaned. The center also answers inquiries about living with urban wildlife.

Sanctuaries: We run nature sanctuaries in the mountains, city and coast. They protect habitat, showcase healthy ecosystems, and provide places for people to connect with nature.

Birding: We help people of all ages and backgrounds get involved in birding by organizing a variety of birding and natural history activities.

Portland Audubon was founded 110 years ago by a group of conservationists. We are now a community of 13,000 who stand together to protect Oregon’s beautiful birds, wildlife and habitat. Join us by becoming a member, donating or volunteering.
