To meet our mission we offer educational programs and seasonal field trips and provide members with the Meadowlark newsletter. The Benzie Audubon Club is a tax-exempt charitable organization and a chapter of the Michigan Audubon Society. All of our meetings and field trips are open to the public without charge. Meetings are usually held the first Thursday of each odd month (January, March, etc.) at the Tribal Outpost at 7282 Hoadley Road in Benzonia (see map). Field trips are taken throughout the year. |
Our major objectives are promoting an appreciation for and a better understanding of the plants and animals of northern Michigan, preserving our natural environment, and preventing any activities that may pose a threat to our natural ecology. Upcoming Events:
Saturday, September 6, 8:00 a.m. Fall Birding
We will meet at the mouth of Platte River at the end of the Lake
Michigan Road. Bring a park pass and dress to wade across the river. Call leader Carl Freeman (352-4739) with any questions.
Thursday, September 11, 7:00 p.m. "Pura Vida in Costa Rica"
Ralph Gorton, who organized the first Christmas Bird Count in Beulah while a college student, will present a program at the Tribal Outpost based on the many trips he has taken to Costa Rica while a professor at Lansing Community College.
