The Green Mountain Audubon Society was founded in 1962 as an independent Vermont corporation and became a chapter of the National Audubon Society to promote environmental education, wildlife protection, and land conservation.

The National Audubon Society was established in 1905 to protect American birds. In 1964, the Green Mountain Audubon Society acquired the Nature Center located in Huntington, Vermont. The original Nature Center — house, barn, and 150-acre farm — was a generous gift from Christine Hires. Over the years, this legacy has grown to include 255 acres supported by more than 1000 Audubon members throughout northwestern Vermont. The nature center is managed by our statewide organization, Audubon Vermont.
We sponsor a variety of field trips and programs throughout the year. Our upcoming events are listed on the Calendar of Events page and on our Home page. We also organize the Winter Bird Count for the Burlington area. Our Winter Bird Count, which is linked to Audubon groups throughout the country, helps researchers assess the population size and health of many bird species nationwide.
