Burroughs Audubon Society announces ...



HELP CREATE THE TOMORROW YOU WANT TO LIVE IN!


Help create the tomorrow in which you want to live! Will we have clean water, healthy lands full of wildlife, and thriving neighborhoods? TogetherGreen is a new Audubon initiative made possible by a generous grant from Toyota. The program seeks to create a greener, healthier future for all of us through innovation, leadership, and volunteerism. Make your life greener, volunteer, and challenge your friends to take action too. Act Now! It's our planet. It's our future. TogetherGreen we can make a difference.

Through the leadership of former chapter president, Jill DeWitt, Burroughs Audubon and The University of Missouri-Kansas City Urban Planning Program secured a first-round TogetherGreen grant to start a "21st Century Green Block" by creating two rain gardens at area elementary schools and a community garden, with native plants, to demonstrate new strategies for vacant land management in Kansas City's Washington Wheatley neighborhood. Congratulations, and let's keep the momentum and enthusiasm going!


2009 - Year of the Gorilla

The Year of the Gorilla 2009 was officially launched at the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) Conference of Parties in Rome. YoG aims to support conservation of these close relatives of humankind and their habitats by boosting the livelihoods and incomes of local people. The initiative also aims to improve the management of national and cross border populations of primates and ones living in National Parks by strengthening cooperation between range states and providing improved support for rangers and other key personnel.

General Meetings:
Burroughs meets on the first THURSDAY of each month, September through June (with the exception of April when we hold our Annual Dinner), at the Anita B. Gorman Conservation Discovery Center. Please see the general meetings page for more details! Come for coffee and cookies around 6:30 p.m.; program begins at 7:00 p.m. Guests are always welcome!
