  • Connecting People with Nature



    In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught. - Baba Dioum

    An informed and engaged public of all ages is a critical link in preserving the habitats critical to birds and other wildlife. Audubon Maryland-DC focuses significant attention to making sure this link isn't skipped.




  • What is Audubon at Home?



    Audubon At Home is about taking individual conservation action that can sustain birds, other wildlife, and healthy habitats in our yards and neighborhoods. See what we're doing in Maryland and how you can get involved!




  • What is the Important Bird Area Program?



    The Maryland-DC Important Bird Areas (IBA) Program is part of major bird conservation initiative carried out as a partnership between National Audubon and Birdlife International and is part of a worldwide program developed by Birdlife International. The goals of the program are to identify the areas most essential for sustaining native bird populations, and then to focus conservation efforts on these places.




  • Get Involved with Citizen Science



    Whether it is counting birds from the window of your living room or climbing a ladder to see 10 baby Wood Ducks nesting in one of the Nest Boxes at Pickering Creek Audubon Center--- you can play a major role in the protection of birds!
