Whether you're an experienced birder, or just want to learn more about the amazing wildlife and important habitats in the Grand Valley and Mesa County, we're glad you stopped by!
​
Grand Valley Audubon strives to provide information, education, and activities to help everyone get outside and connect with the spectacular natural area we call home. 

DID YOU KNOW...
If you are a National Audubon Member (and receive the magazine) less than $2.00 of your dues are returned to your local Grand Valley Audubon (GVAS) chapter? We ask you to join us locally because 100% of your dues directly benefit local chapter activities.  Thank you!
