The Morro Coast Audubon Society (MCAS) is part of both a state and national non-profit network: California Audubon and the National Audubon Society (NAS), which was founded in 1905. As of 2019, NAS encompasses over 500,000 members, 22 state offices, and 467 local chapters, plus centers and sanctuaries, professional staff, and supporters. This network is united, as a conservation organization, in its efforts to promote protection for birds, endangered species, critical habitats, important ecosystems, and the scientific management and protection of wildlife.The education program we have established is called: Fostering Environmental Awareness Through High School Education and Research, or FEATHER, is our one-of-a-kind transdisciplinary environmental education program for high school students. FEATHER combines research, science, environmental education, college-readiness skills, and (of course) birds into a program that provides real-world citizen science research opportunities, fosters relationships with nature, helps prepare students for college, and informs about local birds and conservation issues.
