Mission
The mission of Madison Audubon Society is to educate our members and the public about the natural world and the threats that natural systems are facing, to engage in advocacy to preserve and protect these systems, and to develop and maintain sanctuaries to save and restore natural habitat.

 

Madison Audubon Society is an active chapter of the National Audubon Society and the Wisconsin Audubon Council
Sanctuaries
Madison Audubon Society Wildlife Sanctuaries encompass more than 1,200 acres. Goose Pond Sanctuary includes a prairie pothole and more than 100 acres of restored tallgrass prairie. Faville Grove Sanctuary has wetlands, savanna, and restored prairie. Both sanctuaries are works in progress with ongoing prairie restoration. Other sanctuaries include: Otsego Marsh, Erstad Prairie (Schoeneberg's Marsh), and Zeloski Marsh / Hope Lake Bog
Advocacy
Natural systems are facing numerous threats, most often the result of human activity. Madison Audubon engages in advocacy to protect and preserve natural systems. Action Alerts describe opportunities for citizen input on proposed laws and government regulations. Networking with other environmental organizations amplifies our effectiveness.
