“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead
The Sea and Sage Audubon Society Conservation Committee has been a cornerstone of our chapter’s activities and successes since our incorporation in 1958. The Conservation Committee strives to meet the chapters’ Mission to “protect birds, other wildlife and their habitats…”. To accomplish this, we focus our efforts on campaigns and topics that have the most potential to make positive impacts on birds and habitats in Orange County and beyond. We have a large committee of very dedicated conservationists and birders that work as a team to protect our local environment, conserve open spaces and natural resources. Our approach is to advocate responsibly, courteously, honestly, to be persistent and to speak with authority, backed by facts.
Conservation Committee Meetings are conducted by Zoom on the first Tuesday evening of each month, except July.
Meetings begin 6:45 pm, doors open (virtually) at 6:30 pm. For more information contact Susan Sheakley at 949-552-5974, or email her at susansheakley@cox.net
