New York Operations

Public Education & Outreach

We educate New Yorkers on the actions they can take to protect the environmental where they live, work, and play.  We do this through New York-specific projects and partnership, as well as  through educational programs and seminars.

In one ongoing education project, local high school students are learning about stream monitoring techniques, the science behind water quality, and steps they can take to protect the watersheds where they live.  Audubon International is also committed to working with other public, private, and nonprofit organizations throughout New York State—such as the NYSDEC, NY Farms!, the Albany County Water Quality Coordinating Committee, Adirondack Cooperative Loon Program, among others.  Through these innovative partnerships—building on our existing programs—we’re able to more effectively educate people throughout the state.

Audubon International's various education and certification programs offer information, tools, and incentives for people to take environmental action where they live.  The New York Operations department is focused on promoting these tools as a means for businesses, watershed groups, schools, industry associations, communities, and others across New York State to protect and sustain the environment.

Finally, our staff make educational presentations and seminars of all types throughout New York State.  From birding talks to sustainable communities, New Yorkers hear from us each year.
