Birds need people willing to speak up for them.
Birders in Action.
Use your outside voice.
Birds can't speak at public hearings, submit comments, or contact elected officials. We can. Birders in Action connects the Denver Audubon community with timely opportunities to advocate for birds, wildlife, and the places they need to thrive.

Current Actions
Stay up to date on Colorado state and local legislation affecting birds and their habitats.
Vote NO on Amendment 83
Colorado voters will consider Amendment 83 this November. Denver Audubon opposes the amendment because we believe decisions about wildlife management should remain grounded in science, professional wildlife management, and established public processes.
Protect Wetlands & Streams
Wetlands and waterways provide essential habitat for birds. EPA and the Army Corps are currently accepting comments on additional alternatives they are considering as they revise the definition of “Waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act. The federal comment period closes Friday, October 9.
