SKAGIT AUDUBON NEEDS YOU!

Skagit Audubon thrives when our members give of their time and skills to help us.  Whatever your talents are, we have many activities going on all year long and we could really use your help!! 

Whether you have skills in helping at an event, birding id, planning activities, data entry, field trips, educating, or helping our leaders, there are many ways we can benefit from your skills.  Perhaps you don’t even really know just yet what those skills are and where you can contribute them.  Let us help you find out!  You can share your time regularly, monthly, yearly, or on occasion with as little or as much as you wish.  It’s up to you to set how much time you can give us.  Our chapter, our leaders and the community habitat all will benefit and appreciate your time and energy.

If you’re interested, or just want to explore the options, contact us (please see page 2 of this newsletter or our website, www.skagitaudubon.org) , and explore ways you can help that fit into your schedule.  We will be so happy to have you!!! 

Purple Martin Nest Box Cleaning 2025

Our annual Purple Martin nest cleaning and maintenance day at Ship Harbor was on April 19th this year. SAS volunteers show up each spring before the Purple Martins arrive to lower, clean, repair, add fresh nesting material and re-hang each box.

If you would like to help the Purple Martins, volunteer opportunities still exist in the form of monitoring the boxes from May-July for nesting activity. If you are interested, please email Anns@skagitaudubon.org.
