Buffalo Audubon is entering one of the most important moments in its history—and we are inviting new leaders to join our Board of Directors.
This is your chance to help shape the future of nature education, bird conservation, and community impact across Western New York.
For more than a century, Buffalo Audubon has stood for something that matters—from protecting birds in its earliest days to creating a place where generations have connected with nature.
Today, that work is accelerating, as we usher in a new chapter at Buffalo Audubon that makes Trillium Nature Center a destination for Western New Yorkers to learn about, experience, and discover in nature—and this kind of growth requires thoughtful, committed leadership. Out Central New York.
Being on the board was a deeply enriching experience. I encourage people who love Buffalo Audubon to step forward and become a part of their very important work.
– Mary Canfield-Collins, former Buffalo Audubon Board member
Board service means contributing your voice, your experience, and your perspective at a time when it truly matters. It is meaningful work. And yes, at times, it is challenging. But it is also an opportunity to be part of something lasting.
The next three years will be among the most important in our history. Board service at this moment means:
- Serving as an ambassador to connect the organization to the community
- Assisting the BAS team with securing vital funding for operational and capital needs
- Helping guide a growing and increasingly visible organization
- Navigating real decisions, not just ideas
- Strengthening financial sustainability and long-term impact
- Contributing your voice, experience, and judgment when it matters most
