The Orleans Audubon Society's activities include environmental education and bird and habitat conservation. Our conservation efforts are focused on restoring Louisiana's coastal wetlands and monitoring the Pearl River Basin. Our Environmental Outreach and Education programs range from outdoor adventure field trips, conservation and environmental lectures, outreach programs to schools, bird watching courses and workshops, and habitat restoration work days. Our wildlife ambassadors, a Great Horned Owl, Harris's Hawk, and corn snake are popular with audiences of all ages. The Ibis quarterly newsletter, features articles about local birding, gardening for birds and butterflies using native plants, habitat restoration, and endangered species and announces a wide array of environmental programs.

OAS's commitment to preserving habitat for birds is evidenced by our sanctuaries and habitat restoration partnerships. OAS's three sanctuaries preserve a variety of Louisiana habitats from bottomland, swamp, and marsh to barrier island forested ridges.
