In addition to its affiliation with the national organization, North
Shore Audubon Society, in conjunction with two other chapters, has
until recently managed the operation of the Theodore
Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Nature Center, and
continues to participate in its activities, now that New York Audubon
has taken over its operation.
Our cooperation with the Garvies Point Museum
and Preserve has been strengthened recently by the adoption
of the preserve by North Shore Audubon Society. This will result
in further cooperation between the museum and the chapter, and with
extensive chapter participation during preserve improvements and
habitat restoration efforts.
North Shore A.S. also conducts frequent, joined
field trips with the Queens County Bird Club. In
addition to our joint field trips, this club conducts many other
interesting activities.
There are other Audubon chapters
on Long Island, each serving a different area. The chapters coordinate
some activities by means of a Long Island Audubon Council and via
New York Audubon.
We are also a member of the New York State
Ornithological Association, which collects important information
about our state's birds and publishes in "The Kingbird".
THE OTHER LONG ISLAND CHAPTERS ARE:
Eastern Long Island Audubon Society
Four Harbors Audubon Society
Great South Bay Audubon Society
Huntington Audubon Society
New York City Audubon Society
North Fork Audubon Society
South Shore Audubon Society
Other environmental organizations of particular interest
to Long Islanders are:
The Nature Conservancy's
support website,
Save The Sound,
New York State Ornithological Society,
Long Island Birding,
Environmental Advocates and
Long Island Sound
Study.
