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 designated a charitable non-profit 501(c)(3) and are a chapter of the Michigan Audubon Society .
Our regular programs are usually the second Thursday of the month at the Boardman River Nature Center on Cass Road at 7:00 pm which are open to members and non-members. Everyone is welcome to attend!

Our Next Program:
November 12 (Thursday) – Linda Woods with The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians
She is a Vietnam-era U.S. Air Force veteran, a substance abuse counselor, and is noted as the first woman veteran to carry a traditional ceremonial Eagle Staff. Her profile and community work are featured by organizations like Michigan Women Forward and the state’s veteran initiatives. In her presentation, Linda will describe her ceremonial Eagle Staff and the steps that led to her earning such an honorable symbol. She will be bringing her Eagle Staff, affectionally named Migizi, with her. In addition, she will describe why, and what birds are so special to the Anishinaabe culture.
