To register by phone, mail or email: Follow the steps below.
STEP 1: GET YOUR NAME ON THE CLASS ROSTER
By Phone: 971-222-6119
By email:
sengel@audubonportland.org
First time taking one of our adult classes? Then be
sure to provide complete contact information: full name(s), phone,
email, mailing address, member or non-member status.
Registered for classes before? Then no need to repeat
all your contact information in your communications with us.
NOTE: If the class is a lecture style only (E.g., all of Harry Nehls classes) there will ALMOST ALWAYS be enough seats and up to the week prior you are safe simply mailing or calling in your payment and information (Step 2). A long standing tradition of drop-in-and-pay-at-the-door is also honored for these types of classes, so if you learn about the class at the last minute, don't let that stop you but DO CALL TO CONFIRM THERE IS ROOM! Rarely sign-ups exceed our capacity for seating but it has been known to happen when an unusual or infrequently offered class is scheduled. If dropping in, Either pay the person checking people in when you arrive, or pay at the Nature Store. Arrive early to allow time for parking and paying.
STEP 2: PAY THE CLASS FEE

everyone's best interest to pay your class fee promptly. If payment
is not received within 10 working days you may lose your spot in the

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICY FOR ADULT CLASSES
Full payment is expected for a Class upon registration. If
participants need to cancel, their enrollment cancellations must be
received in writing (email ok) TWO WEEKS prior to the class in order to receive
a full refund. If cancellation notice is
received less than 2 weeks from the class date then a full refund minus $10
processing fee can be given IF the vacancy can be filled from a wait list. If it cannot be filled from a wait list then
the entire amount is forfeited.
If the Audubon Society
of Portland
needs to cancel a program due to low enrollment, participants will be given
as much advance notification as possible and a full refund. The Audubon Society of Portland reserves the
right to cancel classes due to inclement weather or instructor illness up to
the date of the class, in which case a full refund will also be given.
