Intro

Celebrate fall migration and step into advocacy for birds at the 2024 Audubon North Carolina Summit this October! 

Audubon chapters and members have been working hard to build a state-wide community of bird lovers and bird advocates. After landmark native plants and local advocay wins in the past year, now is a great time to celebrate birds, and inspire each other. All are welcome (you don't have to be a dues-paying Audubon member), registration is now open.

Co-hosted with New Hope Bird Alliance, this weekend-long event has something for everyone and is timed perfectly to coincide with peak fall migration. Plus, we have a slate of workshops to help you hone your advocacy and birdwatching skills.
