Benefits of membership to KAS include a subscription to the newsletter, the ability to vote on policy changes and recommendations, as well as the election of officers, and the satisfaction of knowing you are part of something important, and helping support our programs, advocacy and community outreach, as well as our overriding mission of protecting birds and habitat. Family memberships allow couples and their children to become members for less than the cost of two individual memberships. Members are also the first to know about our field trips and programs.
Kitsap Audubon Membership vs. National Audubon Membership
Many are confused about whether membership in National Audubon makes them full members of Kitsap Audubon. While Kitsap Audubon is a chapter of the National Audubon Society, it is financially separate and independent, and depends entirely on chapter dues and donations to support its programs and activities. National Audubon shares the names of its members who happen to live in Kitsap County, but the small amount of NAS dues it shares doesn’t even offset the cost of printing and mailing the chapter newsletter to noncontributing peripheral “members.” If you are a member of National Audubon, please also join Kitsap Audubon and help support our outstanding programs, educational outreach, and tireless advocacy for wildlife and habitat.
