Dear Members and Friends,

If you have already made a donation to Audubon Society of Northern Virginia during our 2021 Annual Appeal campaign, thank you very much! If not, can you help support our efforts to protect birds and other wildlife and preserve their habitat?

Audubon Society’s mission is to engage all Northern Virginia communities in enjoying, conserving, and restoring nature for the benefit of birds, other wildlife, and people. We have been able to carry out our mission thanks to the support of our donors and thousands of hours of donated time by our dedicated volunteers. Highlights of our work in the 2021 fiscal year include:
* A record number of educators and schools received grants and scholarships to advance our mission.
* More than three times as many people registered for our classes and programs as in the previous fiscal year thanks to our switch to largely online programming.
* More diverse communities learned about birds, wildlife, and the environment as we increased our efforts to reach out to communities that we had not traditionally served.
* We hired a senior high school student at a local school as a youth intern to improve our outreach to young people who will soon be responsible for preserving and enhancing our environment.
* ASNV members served on statewide study groups on the reduction of invasive plants and control of feral cats, which kill almost two billion birds per year. We advocated on behalf of county-wide policies for the preservation of natural areas, natural landscaping, and bird-safe buildings, and fought for preservation of local key natural areas.
* Our Audubon at Home Ambassadors provided advice to homeowners and caretakers of community spaces on how and why to create wildlife-friendly habitat and a record number of acres as Wildlife Sanctuaries.
