Advancing policies that promote a healthy and resilient Puget Sound for birds and people

Audubon is the voice for birds from town halls to the U.S. capitol. We bring the full power of our expansive network to bear on behalf of the most important policies that will lead to protection for birds as well as ecosystem restoration and resilience. We engage our 25 Washington chapter affiliates and 25,000 advocates through action alerts, letters, meetings with elected officials, and our annual advocacy day to advocate for key state and federal policies.

Conservation Actions

  • Advocate for enhanced, long-term comprehensive planning for climate resilience under Washington’s Growth Management Act and associated shoreline policies. 
  • Advance policies that improve our ability to monitor and protect important food and habitat resources for birds. 
  • Advance policies that support Puget Sound recovery by fostering natural shorelines and the removal of harmful shoreline armoring. 
  • Advance policies that support conservation funding.
