About Aiken Audubon Society
Aiken Audubon Society is the Pikes Peak chapter of the National Audubon Society, based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The chapter organizes public meetings, field trips, educational programs, and conservation projects to study and protect local bird populations and habitats.
Aiken supports regional bird research and stewardship through grants, partnerships (including the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies), citizen-science initiatives such as the Christmas Bird Count, and by operating and managing public access for birding at key sites like Chico Basin Ranch.
The organization is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 23-7181149) with an active annual reporting process; recent annual reports note increased donations, expanded grantmaking, and sustained community participation in field trips and programs.
