There are two ways become involved and support Audubon efforts and initiatives: become a National Audubon Member and become an Audubon Society of the Capital Region Chapter Supporter. How you get involved is up to you; you can choose to join one or both organizations. Here are the instructions and benefits for both membership options.

1. National Audubon. Your membership dues for the National organization largely stay at the National level. The local Chapter – Audubon Society of the Capital Region (ASCR) – receives a set amount of financial support from National annually. When you sign up to be a National Member, which you can do here, select R14 as your local Chapter, which will alert Audubon Society of the Capital Region of your National Membership and associate you with ASCR.
The annual dues to become a National Audubon Member are $20 and the benefits of your Membership include: 2. Audubon Society of the Capital Region. If you are looking to have an impact in your community, then join ASCR. With this Membership, 100% of your membership dues remains local. That financial support helps ASCR to: support local conservation efforts such as the removal of invasive species that impact bird habitats; sponsor educational, interactive and fun programs to promote birding and bird education among residents of the Capital Region; and help to support other special initiatives such as the constriction of bird blinds and camp sponsorships for area youth interested in learning more about our local and precious natural heritage.
