Celebrating birds and wildlife
in West Michigan and the World
The Holland Audubon Club and its members celebrate the abundant birds and wildlife in West Michigan and the world. We are an organization that promotes the awareness, understanding and enjoyment of the natural environment.
Our goal is to educate our community about the natural environment with emphasis on birds and their habitat. As a chapter of the Michigan Audubon Society, we are linked with 42 Audubon Clubs statewide. The Holland Audubon Club welcomes all who are interested in birds and nature. Our members include enthusiastic novices as well as
knowledgeable veterans. Please join us for one of our entertaining speakers at an upcoming monthly meeting. Meetings are held at 7:00 PM on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, September through May at Hope Church, 77 W 11th St, Holland. Meetings and programs are free to the public. Be sure to check the Calendar and Events pages for meeting dates, Birding Hikes, and other interesting events.
