Our Mission:
 | Provide stewardship of local Grand River island wildlife sanctuaries owned
by the Michigan Audubon Society; |
| Achieve, through education, public recognition of the value and need for
protecting and preserving wildlife, plants, soil, water and other natural
resources, as well as an understanding of their interdependence; |
| Promote an interest in our native birds and their habitat because of their
great economic, cultural and recreational value; and |
| Aid the Michigan Audubon Society in its study, conservation and research
efforts. |
Birding field trips are offered year round by volunteer leaders from the
membership. Most trips concentrate on local birding areas such as the Lake
Michigan shore, Allegan State Game Area, and Muskegon Wastewater Plant. Field
trip reports are published in the far flowing water. For an example report, click
here. A cumulative list of birds observed on the field trips, the "OIAS Life List"
is maintained.
