Richmond Audubon Society (RAS) is a chapter of the National Audubon Society (NAS), committed to the observation and conservation of birds and wildlife. Our members support local conservation, habitat restoration, and advocacy, while enjoying activities like field trips, bird counts and game nights. We welcome birders of all backgrounds and experience levels.

Your tax-deductible donation to the National Audubon Society helps fund science, education, advocacy, and habitat protection for birds and the ecosystems they rely on.

An Audubon membership makes a perfect birthday or holiday gift for the bird lover in your life. Visit the NAS Gift Membership page to give a full year of member benefits to a friend or family member.

We meet on the third Thursday of each month. Visit our calendar for details on upcoming meetings.
