Membership

Our first annual online membership drive is on!

Join us for our first ever online membership drive! We are excited for you to try this option; it will streamline volunteer time and save planetary resources. Here are a few areas of awareness to consider at before trying it:

  • IMPORTANT: Zeffy is a 100% free payment processor. When prompted, be sure to choose “other” to change their default service fee suggestion.

  • Automatic renewal is selected by default. You will receive email reminders from Zeffy prior to being charged and can change your option anytime. Be sure to deselect this option if you do not want it.

  • Choose a paperless membership and print your newsletter at home to further help the environment and ease volunteer load.

  • Need some help navigating our new tech? Reach out to contact@cdaaudubon.org for personalized assistance.

For 35 years, Coeur d’Alene Audubon has embraced the mission of protecting birds and their habitats. Your membership funds an integrated program of science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation.

Coeur d’Alene Audubon is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Volunteer

100% volunteer-led!

Since 1990, Coeur d’Alene Audubon volunteers have given thousands of hours to the chapter: taking on leadership roles, spearheading conservation efforts, teaching classes, conducting surveys and organizing field trips.

  • To get involved with our nonprofit, consider submitting an article to our newsletter review committee. Share your insights and passion for bird conservation with our community. Your contribution can inspire others and help raise awareness about the importance of protecting avian species and their habitats.

  • Planning a field trip for Coeur d’Alene Audubon can provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, educate others about local bird species, and foster a sense of community among fellow bird enthusiasts. Our field trips contribute to our conservation efforts and foster a deeper appreciation for the beauty of birds and their habitats.

  • Volunteering for a leadership position with Coeur d'Alene Audubon provides the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on avian conservation efforts and contribute to the local community's environmental education and outreach initiatives.

  • Volunteering on our conservation projects provides a hands-on opportunity to make a positive impact on local wildlife and habitats while connecting with a community of like-minded individuals passionate about environmental stewardship.

  • Participating in bird surveys allows individuals to contribute valuable data for conservation efforts and scientific research, helping to protect bird populations and their habitats for future generations.
