Classes
Portland Audubon classes spark curiosity, foster a deeper understanding of the natural world, and inspire people to protect native wildlife and their habitat. Classes are open to people of all skill levels and abilities, with a focus on natural history, regional conservation issues, the intersection of art and the environment, and of course, birds and wildlife.
We offer experiences both in the classroom and in the field, with classes focusing on bird identification, birding by ear, animal tracking, butterflies and dragonflies, nature-inspired art, mushrooming, trees, wildflowers and more.
When you take a class with Portland Audubon, you are supporting our work to protect wildlife, wild places, and humans alike.
