Seattle Audubon strives to connect people and birds. By building this connection we hope to promote an environmental ethic that we are part of nature not separate from it. The more we understand our interconnections with the animals and the land around us the more willing we will be to make the tough decisions to restore damages of the past and create new interactions with the environment around us that are healthy and sustainable.

Canopy Connections (Urban Habitat): Canopy Connections helps to form neighborhood connections among people, birds and habitat to create stronger, healthier and more livable neighborhoods. Whether in our parks, backyards or other parts of the city, urban habitat provides numerous ecosystem services like filtering our air and providing homes for our wildlife. By integrating habitat elements into our development patterns we can ensure the city can continue to grow and prosper while maintaining healthy bird populations and access to green spaces and nature for humans.

Regional Conservation Issues: Our regional conservation efforts seek to protect birds and their critical habitats. Our current priorities include improving forest habitat and restoring the health of Puget Sound.  Through this work we are focusing on two species of threatened and endangered birds, the Northern Spotted Owl and the Marbled Murrelet.
