Tennessee Valley Audubon Society

Who We Are

The Tennessee Valley Audubon Society is a chapter of the National Audubon Society serving Limestone, Madison and Morgan counties in north Alabama. Charted in 1985, TVAS became a 501(c)(3) organization in 2016.

Our Mission

The Tennessee Valley Audubon Society promotes the understanding and preservation of birds, wildlife and the environment in north Alabama through education, research and outreach.

TVAS is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization. Our volunteers engage children, adults and families in the enjoyment of north Alabama’s rich and diverse natural environment through fun educational hikes, workshops and presentations.

Protecting waterbird populations has been part of Audubon’s mission even before the official establishment of the National Audubon Society. Outrage over the slaughter of millions of waterbirds, particularly egrets and other waders, for the millinery trade led to the foundation, by Harriet Hemenway
