About Our Program
At the heart of Seattle Audubon's Conservation Program is the Conservation Committee, comprised of two staff members and approximately 20 dedicated volunteers. This committee is the locus for planning, evaluation, and action on conservation issues within the organization. In a nutshell, the Conservation Committee evaluates and makes policy recommendations to the Seattle Audubon Board of Directors on conservation issues, and takes action on behalf of wildlife and habitat.



Two staff members provide overall coordination and direction for the Conservation Committee and Conservation Program:
  • Matt Mega, Urban Habitat Coordinator
    (206) 985-6841, mattm@seattleaudubon.org

    Matt focuses on the protection of urban habitat and on land-use management issues within out membership area.

  • Alex Morgan, Conservation Coordinator
    (206) 985-6581, alexm@seattleaudubon.org

    Alex focuses on regional and national issues, such as protection of forest ecosystems, promotion of Shade Coffee, and defense of birds at risk.
In addition to members of the Conservation Committee, the Conservation Program also includes another 45+ volunteers who participate as needed to support broader education and conservation activities.
