History

The Saint Paul Audubon Society was founded with 12 members on October 18, 1945 as the St. Paul Bird Club. By the end of the first year, the St. Paul Bird Club had 98 members.  Our new name honors all the incredible achievements our chapter has accomplished while recognizing we need a larger coalition of people and organizations to reach our goals.
