Our Mission
Detroit Bird Alliance fosters the appreciation and conservation of birds and the environment we share.
Who We Are Today
The primary focus of Detroit Bird Alliance is to protect birds and their habitats by engaging people, communities, and policymakers in conservation. We strive to bring nature and people together, in a way that serves both.
The work of Detroit Bird Alliance supports local activities that foster the preservation of birds and the clean air, water, wetlands, grasslands, woodlands and other natural resources upon which they depend to survive and thrive.
Our History
Detroit Bird Alliance was founded as Detroit Audubon in 1939 and incorporated as a 501(c)3 non profit corporation in 1957. In 2023, Detroit Audubon board of directors voted to change the name to Detroit Bird Alliance. As a chapter of National Audubon Society, we have more than 6,000 members in areas stretching from St. Clair County to the north, Ann Arbor to the west, and down to the Ohio State Line.
