Students learn ecological and conservation principles, human impacts, and the importance of daily conservation actions. Our experiential Project Based Learning and STEM-structured Birds and Conservation program, in partnership with Earth Force, continues for the tenth grade at Collegiate Academy of Colorado and the sixth grade at Lone Tree Elementary. We work with over 25 schools each year on programs at the schools and at the Audubon Center at Chatfield State park.Audubon Nature Center: Classes, events, and field trips are offered to all ages, with a goal to promote more families and adults being active outdoors. Programs include family night hikes, monthly Walk the Wetlands, Habitats for Homeschoolers, school field trips, and adult education series. We also offer the 9-day Audubon Community Naturalist Training. Corporate groups also help with garden and trail projects in the spring. We partner with Colorado Academy on summer camps.Bird Banding-Scientists in Action: Our major attraction each spring is the Bird Banding Research and Education Station. A wildlife biologist from Bird Conservancy of the Rockies captures and tags songbirds to study migration. Banding has introduced thousands of children and adults to birds and the importance of protecting habitats, including seniors, homeschools, and participants with developmental disabilities. It is exciting to watch the transformation of those who visit the banding station. The station is open to schools and the public.Community Outreach: Denver Audubon offers numerous customized classes and field trips for adults and families. Our Birding Without Barriers program works with mobility challenged community members to establish accessible birding in local parks. We are identifying accessible birdwatching locations throughout the metro area.Conservation: Our staff and volunteers, through all of our programs, focus on messaging to encourage our community to improve urban and developed habitats in the Denver metro area. We participate in local issues that impact birds and their habitats in the community. We offer programs about creating bird friendly habitats in our yards and taking action in our personal lives to help keep our environment healthy for birds and people.Research: The Lois Webster Fund relies on the contributions from generous donors to enable researchers to find answers to questions important for conservation; to engage learners of all ages in research; and to educate about Colorado non-game wildlife and helping provide information about techniques for restoring habitats and populations of our beloved Colorado non-game wildlife.Volunteers: Although we have professional staff to lead many of our programs, we could not accomplish what we do each spring without our amazing volunteers and we have over 100 of them! They lead our birding field trips throughout the metro region. They assist with school and public programs, including bird banding, events, and programs at the Audubon Center, at the schools, or at venues in the community. Many of our volunteers have been trained in our Audubon Master Birder program and/or the Audubon Naturalist training. And volunteers help assist with the gardens, office tasks, and so much more. They give over 5000 hours each year. 369817 true true false true false false false false false false true false false true false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true false false X Shelley Conger 3039739530 9308 South Wadsworth Blvd Littleton CO 80128 Karl Brummert - prior Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 72225 0 2669 Dale Campau Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elvira Kozhevnikova Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Don Hall Vice President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dina Baker Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Curt Frankenfield President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shelley Conger - Current Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Pilar Hoyos Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diane RaPue Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 72225 2669 0 false false false 0 61212 263090 324302 Merchandise sales 9810 9810 Program tuition 89213 89213 99023 31674 31674 0 0 0 0 121311 22115 99196 99196 0 0 0 554195 99023 130870 0 0 0 0 72225 36113 28890 7222 0 222794 185151 33065 4578 7198 5399 1511 288 1150 863 241 46 24446 18335 5133 978 0 0 20203 9366 9499 1338 9651 7721 1930 0 9017 4509 4508 23891 18949 3632 1310 0 7943 6355 794 794 8658 6928 865 865 0 3329 3329 5145 5145 0 0 0 0 25915 25735 180 6399 6399 Program supplies 15258 15258 LWF disbursements 9320 9320 Printing and Publications 8078 1829 404 5845 Equipment rental 3113 3113 1383 1383 485116 369817 92035 23264 0 474763 555227 0 13857 5352 0 0 0 0 1887 0 602317 482223 146009 120094 134906 151593 0 0 0 903482 944922 1674904 1777188 13035 17468 3000 16035 17468 X 1523963 1608127 134906 151593 1658869 1759720 1674904 1777188 69079 31772 X true X true X true false X 239250 324671 469911 774203 324302 2132337 0 0 239250 324671 469911 774203 324302 2132337 607341 1524996 15900 5036 65915 52425 31674 170950 0 0 2303287 0.66210 0.65170 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 9651 9651 475465 485116 97023 24256 false 75319 77205 89420 97023 338967 508451 8937 8937 9651 27525 18830 19301 22355 24256 84742 127113 8937 8937 9651 27525 559511 445812 113699 26239 26239 16567 10172 6395 120094 Beneficial interest in net assets of 944922 944922 X 615967 31772 30000 61772 554195 554195 515116 30000 30000 485116 485116 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRS Section 501(c)(3) and believes it has complied with all requirements necessary to maintain that status.
