Welcome to the Asheville area's chapter of the Audubon Society! Join us for informational meetings, bird walks, and volunteer opportunities.
Visit the Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary, which is owned and managed by our chapter.

 
*Breaking News!* The Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary will close soon for renovations and will be closed indefinitely. A closure date has not yet been determined. Please check back here for updates!
 
 
Upcoming Events
 
We'll have a Beaver Lake bird walk on Saturday, February 4th at 9:00 am. We meet by the gazebo but will meet elsewhere if the parking lot is closed as part of sanctuary improvements. The closure date is TBA.
 
There are no general meetings in December, January, or February. Our programs will resume in March.
 
 
 
 
Other Events and Information:
 
Have you ever wondered how to build a bird house, what to do if you find an orphaned baby bird, or what and when to feed birds? Look no further than the National Audubon Society's informative Bird FAQ webpage. There you can find answers to all of these questions and many more!
 
One of the greatest threats to birds is collisions with windows on houses and office buildings. The American Bird Conservancy provides very useful information on preventing window strikes. Further information can be found in ABC's Birds and Collisions resource.
 
Consider joining the 40 Gallon Challenge, a nationwide effort to conserve water. Learn about the campaign here.
