Conservation Issues and Projects
Hilton Head Audubon’s record on conservation grows stronger every year. We advocate for safe environments for birds, and we bring awareness to people in and outside our organization alike. Our efforts on issues in council meetings, information blasts, classrooms, with the public and other conservation organizations strive to make our island in the Lowcountry a safer and healthier environment for our birds.
Some of our recent projects can be found below, along with our HHA President’s comments about the 2022 State of the Birds report. Please explore our efforts to be the leading voice for birds in the Lowcountry, sign up to volunteer, and join HHA today.
Our advocacy, education programs and community science seek to engage people in projects that benefit birds, nature, our neighborhoods and the greater ecosystem.
