Klamath Basin Audubon Society

About KBAS

WHO WE ARE: The Klamath Basin Audubon Society was founded in 1983 after the Bald Eagle Conference, which had been going since 1979, made local folks see the need for such an organization. Our membership is currently over 160 (as of October, 2005) with well over 260 names on our mailing list.

MONTHLY MEETINGS: We meet on the second Thursday of each month from September through May from 7-9 pm in the Klamath County Courthouse Community Meeting Room, 316 Main Street. Programs will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. Refreshments will be provided. We share bird sightings, dessert and hot drinks, and hour long Programs at each meeting.

BOARD MEETINGS: General members are always invited and welcomed to attend the KBAS Board meetings to help in planning of future activities and discuss Board policies. Our Board Meetings are the first Wednesday of each month from September through June from 7-9 pm. Meeting sites rotate among the homes of the Board Members, so see "Programs" for listings.
