WELCOME

Napa-Solano Audubon Society is Chapter C-28 of the National Audubon Society. Our area covers all of Napa and Solano Counties (California) which are located north and northeast of San Francisco Bay.

The two county area is known for its wide diversity of natural habitat including tidal salt and fresh water marshes, vernal pools, grasslands dotted with valley oaks, chaparral foothills with live oak, chamise, and manzanita, riparian corridors with willows and Fremont cottonwoods, mixed broad-leafed and conifer forests, and redwoods. In addition over 50,000 acres are cultivated vineyards.

The Vision of Napa-Solano Audubon Society is to be the best birding and conservation organization that focuses on Napa and Solano counties. We actively support local birding, local and area conservation education and advocacy, and local birding science including the recently completed Napa County Breeding Bird Atlas and the current ongoing Solano County Breeding Bird Atlas project.

 

HABITAT RESTORATION PROJECT
Napa-Solano Audubon has been awarded one of 41 TogetherGreen national Innovation Grants to help landowners in Napa and Solano Counties restore their fragmented properties into diverse habitats. This restoration project will support a variety of birds, beneficial insects and other wildlife — ultimately affecting at least eight bird species on the Audubon California Watchlist and Common Birds in Decline. The presence of healthy and diverse bird populations is an important indicator of ecological health. Read more about our Habitat Restoration Project.

VOLUNTEER

In addition to the Habitat Restoration project, there are many other opportunities for those who would like to assist us as volunteers! Our club is an active group and there are a variety of possibilities for you to help out.

You can volunteer as a field naturalist for our Solano County Breeding Bird Atlas. We will train you and support you as you cover you own 5000 meter by 5000 meter block of Solano County. You will follow an established user-friendly scientific protocol while identifying and entering data on breeding birds.

Volunteers are needed to assist in public outreach, to assist at public events such as bird walks, the Flyway Festival, and other events around the Bay area.

The chapter needs volunteers to write articles for the Song Sparrow newsletter, or perhaps you would like to help out with our local educational efforts (see sidebar at left).

If you have a skill and a desire to assist in this worthwhile project we have a volunteer job for you! Contact the Project Director or Chair persons listed under the Contact link.
