Please join Madison Audubon at free Monthly Meetings! Each meeting includes opportunties to talk with other birders and environmentalists, and usually a slideshow and presentation by an educational speaker. Meetings are the Third Tuesday of every month except May, June, July, August, and December.

Meetings are not just for Audubon members! They are free public education and entertainment for anyone who is interested in the meetings, which cover topics as varied as Aldo Leopold and Iraq Marshes. Teachers are invited to send students who are learning about environmental history, current issues and future career opportunities.
