New York Operations

The Audubon Society of New York State, Inc. (ASNY) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit environmental education organization.  First established in 1897 by Theodore Roosevelt, Frank Chapman, John Burroughs, and others, ASNY was one of the original independent state Audubon societies.  This early group ceased meeting in the mid-1930s.  In 1987, ASNY was reestablished, and, in keeping with its heritage, continues to be an independent Audubon society like a handful of others throughout the United States, not affiliated with any other local, state, or national Audubon society. 

As its programs developed and expanded to other states and countries, we began “doing business as” Audubon International, to reflect their broader geographical scope.  Within New York State, we continue to carry out activities through Audubon International's New York Operations department, focusing on realizing our vision and mission in the state.
