Houston Audubon's Bird Friendly Communities is an initiative that aims to transform greater Houston into a place that supports a thriving community of birds and provides more opportunities for people to enjoy the diversity of birds that can be found in our region. We are seeking a volunteer with a strong sense of organization and attention to detail who can coordinate native plant sales in support of this initiative. Tasks will include managing all communications related to the plant sales, labeling and organizing plants, preparing for and running the spring native plant sales, and more. Time commitment is 5-10 hours per week from March - May. This is a great opportunity to have a meaningful impact for our feathered friends and to work with a great team at Houston Audubon, where you can learn a lot about native plants and birding. This project also has potential as a college internship.
For more information about Bird-Friendly Communities, take a look at this page.
If you are interested in taking this on please email Lauren Miheli, Volunteer Coordinator with a brief introduction including why you are interested in volunteering in this capacity and your relevant skills.

Mission Statement
To advance the conservation of birds and positively impact their supporting environments.
Description
Houston Audubon is a regional nonprofit conservation, education and advocacy organization that focuses on protecting the natural environment for birds and people. A significant part of our work is owning and managing nature sanctuaries to protect habitat for birds and provide people recreational opportunities in nature. We were accredited as a land trust in July 2017.
Our strategic plan states:
"The flight and song we nurture today defines the quality of life and sense of place we share tomorrow. Houston Audubon aims to inspire a culture of conservation and a way of life that allows us to thrive in harmony with nature. Our vision is the creation of a healthier, more beautiful place to live by leading and nurturing a community that values and supports birds."
Houston Audubon is a financially independent 501(c)(3) charitable conservation organization and is a chapter of National Audubon Society. We operate in an assigned 11-county area surrounding Galveston Bay and including Houston. Our activities extend beyond Houston and its surrounding counties when necessary to accomplish a conservation purpose.
