A chapter of the National Audubon Society and Audubon New York
"Conservation through Education"
Southern
Adirondack Audubon Society (SAAS) is a local
organization whose primary goal is to protect the environment by
preserving natural habitats and promoting environmental
education. SAAS membership is drawn from Warren,
Washington, and
Saratoga counties in New York State.
DEC has released its Draft Guidelines for Conducting Bird and Bat Studies at Commercial Wind Energy Projects. Visit our Conservation page for more information. SAAS has prepared a letter of comment; you may read it here. Check out the new Birding Locations page for photos and birding information for several birding hotspots in the SAAS chapter area! Our new Winter Raptor Identification page will help you identify the species that winter in the Washington county grasslands. Please take a minute to visit this page and enjoy great photos by SAAS member, Gordie Ellmers of Fort Edward. |
