To meet our mission we offer educational programs and seasonal field trips and provide members with the Meadowlark newsletter. The Benzie Audubon Club is a tax-exempt charitable organization and a chapter of the Michigan Audubon Society. All of our meetings and field trips are open to the public without charge. Meetings are usually held the first Thursday of each odd month (January, March, etc.) at the Tribal Outpost at 7282 Hoadley Road in Benzonia (see map). Field trips are taken throughout the year. |
Our major objectives are promoting an appreciation for and a better understanding of the plants and animals of northern Michigan, preserving our natural environment, and preventing any activities that may pose a threat to our natural ecology. Upcoming Events:
Friday, May 18, 8:00 a.m Warblers along the Coast
This is the second of the two weekly hikes led by Paula Dreeszen to find warbler hotspots during the peak of migration. For this one we'll meet at Otter Creek at the west end
of Esch Road (bring your National Park Pass).
Saturday, May 19, Time TBD, Big Day Count
Count all the bird species you can find, anywhere you’d like
to look. At 1:00 p.m. we’ll gather at the home of Doug and Sally Cook
to enjoy our brown bag lunches and to tally the list before heading
out in the afternoon to find any missing species. The Cooks live on 115 Beech
Street, which is west off M-22 north of Frankfort. Their house is the third
house on the right.
