Bird Watchers know the Audubon Society--founded in 1905 after John James Audubon, an ornithologist and wildlife artist--for its devotion to preserving the environment, birds, and other wildlife. But is he or she a member? Members receive a subscription to AUDUBON magazine, local chapter membership, invitations to vacation packages, free admission to Audubon Nature Centers, and discounts on Audubon products. The most important benefit is sharing the wonders of nature with friends and family.
