A resource from the Audubon Council of NY/CT with information for and about our Regions’ Chapters.

NOTE: This project includes work on Lights Out initiatives as well as related Policy Support.

a)       If your chapter will be participating in any window collision and lights out activities this coming year, please add that into the google form. From Susan: THERE IS A SHORT GOOGLE FORM HERE that you can still use to be included in metrics, receive materials, etc.  We expect to ship brochures out to chapters right after the new year.  If we have extras, we will bring them to the Spring Council Meeting, April 4-6 in Glens Falls. We can also provide materials to your chapter at cost (bulk pricing benefits) if we run low on funding.

b)      Susan, Dennis and involved chapters are holding a kick off zoom presentation on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 7:00pm to provide an overview of programs, resource materials and reporting. They will record the meeting and share the link afterwards.
