Welcome!


The El Paso/Trans-Pecos Audubon  Society is a chapter of the National Audubon Society.  We have a large territory, all of Texas west of the Pecos River ("Trans-Pecos").  Our members are found throughout the Trans-Pecos, but most live in the region's largest city, El Paso.  Birds, birding, wildlife, the environment, and our community are the concerns of the El Paso/Trans-Pecos Audubon Society.

Citizen Activism to Protect Habitat for Birds and All Wildlife


Chris Williamson and Liz Walsh from the national Sierra Club’s Wildlife and Endangered Species Activist Team and Litigation Fellow Sarah Rogers from the Animal Legal Defense Fund will talk about how we can use legislation, lobbying, and grassroots activism to protect habitat for birds and all wildlife.

This will be a hybrid meeting.  The in-person meeting will be at the Centennial Museum at UTEP.  Doors will open at 6:45, and parking is available in the lot behind the museum.  The online part will open about 10 minutes early for people to get logged in and chat with each other.  Pre-registration is required.  Please click here to register.  The meeting is open to everyone, whether you are an Audubon member or not.
