About us
Mission To deliver high-quality environmental education and to facilitate the sustainable management of land, water, wildlife, and other natural resources in all places people live, work, and play. History In 1987, the Audubon Society of New York State was born, or perhaps more accurately, reborn. First established nearly 100 years earlier by conservation giants Theodore Roosevelt, Frank Chapman, and John Burroughs, this original Audubon group from New York ceased meeting by the mid-1930s. Nearly five decades later, Ronald G. Dodson re-established the organization as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit under a broader banner of environmental education and sustainable resource management. Very quickly, the reach of the environmental education and certification programs expanded beyond New York. As a result, in 1996, the organization began doing business as Audubon International to better reflect the true scope of its operations. Although, we have no formal affiliation with the National Audubon Society or the other 500-plus Audubon organizations worldwide, we work with and partner with many of these groups to promote common goals. Through education, technical assistance, certification, and recognition, Audubon International facilitates the implementation of environmental management practices that ensure natural resources are sustainably used and conserved.

It's not often that our staff get to collaborate on a recertification site visit, but when we do, we have to grab a photo! 📷 Scott Turner, Kelsey King, and Sarah Honan had a productive visit at Turning Stone Enterprises a few weeks back where they got to learn exactly what makes a #golfcourse a #SignatureSanctuary. Pictured from left to right: Scott Turner, Kelsey King, Sarah Honan (#AudubonInternational program staff), Matt Falvo (Director of Golf and Grounds at Turning Stone Resort), Ricky Stefanski (Golf Course Superintendent at Turning Stone Resort).
