Welcome
The Virginia
Beach Audubon Society is a chapter of the National Audubon
Society. VBAS is an active conservation and environmental
organization dedicated to the Audubon cause of saving birds,
wildlife, and habitat.

support for the Virginia Beach School System. We
are also a major contributor to the Virginia Beach Winter
Wildlife Festival. The
Virginia Beach Audubon Society welcomes volunteers and new
members. Members receive the Audubon
Magazine. The public is invited to participate in all
activities.
Our year runs from
the beginning of July to the end of June each ear.
The 2023-2024 Leadership team will be Kelley Creger,
President, Marion Zabot, Vice President, Karen Lasley as
Secretary and Marc Hines as Treasurer.
Our next membership meeting will
be held on the October 9, 2023 at 7:00 PM.
We meet at the Eastern Shore Chapel Episcopal Church, 2013
Laskin Road, Va Beach.
Field Trips
No field trips have been planned for this year due to the lak of
a Field trip leader. Keep an eye on the
Field Trip page for changes and
other local trips sponsored by our Partner groups.
Chapter Communications
We have three methods to communicate Chapter information. Our primary method is via direct email such as this
email. Please keep us up to date if you change your email. We typically see about a dozen emails returned on every
mailing due to mail boxes that no longer exist. Your email address is never shared with any other organization nor with National.
Our second method is the Virginia Beach Audubon website, Here we try to keep you up to date on meetings, field trips as
well as special events and other regional activities that may interest you. Finally we have the VB Audubon Facebook page,
www.facebook.com/. Members typically post pictures of birds that they have seen
recently, ask questions about unusual birds as well as list
events from other local organizations that people may be
interested in.
National News
To keep abreast of National news please go to the audubon.org
website. You will find great stories, fantastic birding pictures, lots of
statistics as well as a call to arms when legislation is destroying habitat.
So please respond to the above items, keep us up to date on your email address and
continue to stay safe.
Sincerely,
Virginia Beach Audubon Society Officers
and Directors
