The Wyncote Audubon Society is one of the oldest nature oriented clubs in North America. We were founded in 1914 as the Wyncote Bird Club and in 1970 we became a chapter of the National Audubon Society. We now have over 1800 members in the Philadelphia / Eastern Montgomery County region.
As a member of National Audubon we firmly support the Audubon Cause :
- To conserve and support systems of the natural environment
- To conserve and use renewable energy sources
- To protect life from radiation and toxic substances and pollution
- To promote the responsible use of public lands and waters
- To work to solve local and global environmental problems
- To address the stablization of World Populations

Crisis in the Gulf
By now all of you are aware of the unfolding ecological disaster occuring in the Gulf of Mexico.
As oil continues to threaten the gulf from the ruptured British Petroleum oil well, volunteers are springing
into action to cope with the worst environmental crisis in US history. While BP will, hopefully, fulfill
its financial responsibility for the clean up, funds are needed NOW to help with the immediate work that
needs to be done. Many organizations are currently working in the area and we urge you to please
contribute what you can to help.
ABA Gulf Coast Conservation Coordinator, Drew Wheelan, is on the ground in Louisiana following this tragic disaster. To read Drew's blog posts and watch video footage from the area, visit the Gulf Coast Coverage page on the ABA website .
