We offer trips throughout Oregon, the western United States and beyond. We typically travel in 15 passenger vans with the back seat removed and 7 - 9 participants per van. We have regular destinations offered every year such as Klamath Basin or Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and new destinations are added regularly.
Your travel dollar supports our education programs and, while going on an awesome adventure, you will learn about nature as you do some excellent bird watching and wildlife viewing. A portion of your fee is a tax-deductible contribution to the Audubon Society of Portland.
