Welcome! The Grand Traverse Audubon Club members enjoy birding together, meeting for nature-oriented programs or field trips, and participating in service projects related to the environment. We are concerned about the preservation of habitat for wildlife, and natural areas for the enjoyment of all residents. We are a chapter of the Michigan Audubon Society .
Our regular meetings are usually the fourth Thursday of the month at the Boardman River Nature Center on Cass Road at 7:00 PM. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Our Next Meeting:
APRIL
18 (Thursday) – Regular Meeting: Nature Observation & Sketching
Penny Krebiehl, local artist and founder of Little Artshram, has agreed to do a program on Nature Observation and Sketching on April 18th. She’ll talk about drawing techniques for 15-20 minutes, then we’ll all take our sketchbooks outside and sketch stuff. Penny will offer helpful suggestions as we work. If it rains we can draw the taxidermy mounts in the nature center. Bring a notebook or sketchbook, a pencil, and an eraser to the meeting.
The sun sets about 8:30 pm so we should have good light till the end.
Our Next Field Trip:
