We
invite you to join with us in exploring the beauty of the
natural world in the wonderful diversity of LaPorte County
. . . and to open a wider window on the world of nature
through National Audubon and links to similar interests.
The only national environmental organization with a LaPorte
County chapter, Potawatomi Audubon works to promote your
concerns where they count most -- right here at home!
Audubon
membership is open to all upon payment of annual dues. With
one fee you become a member of the National Audubon Society
and your local Potawatomi chapter. Click on the “Join

Audubon magazine and our chapter newsletter. You add your
voice to that of nearly 600,000 other Americans who are
dedicated to maintaining and restoring our environment.
