​Georgia AUDUBON

Barred Owl by Christy Cox

Volunteer with Georgia Audubon

Georgia Audubon has a network of volunteers who lend a helping hand with various events, activities, and programs. Participants in our popular Master Birder Program are asked to serve a minimum number of  volunteer hours with Georgia Audubon to remain in good standing. 

In addition, Georgia Audubon occasionally reaches out to our membership through our newsletters for help with events and programs, including:   
  • Helping with Project Safe Flight patrols
  • Participating in habitat restoration work, such as invasive plant pulls and installation of native plants.
  • Staffing tables at events and festivals. 
  • Joining our network of Avian Advocates who assist with certifications through our Wildlife Sanctuary Program, Habitat Restoration, and other conservation programs.
If you are interested in volunteering with Georgia Audubon, please send an email with your name, phone number, and area of interest to Corina Newsome, Community Engagement Manager.

Volunteer REcognition: Scottie Johnson Spirit Award

Picture
​In 2018, Georgia Audubon lost an incredibly dedicated volunteer and dear friend, Ms. Eleanor Scott Johnson. Scottie, as her family and friends called her, was an avid birder and long-time volunteer for Georgia Audubon. There wasn’t a task that Scottie wasn’t up for, whether that was giving educational presentations, walking a Project Safe Flight route, certifying wildlife sanctuaries, or writing the Ask Chippy column. Scottie always raised her hand to help us out. She was a nurse, a mother, a Master Birder, and a wonderful human being with an amazing spirit. Although we lost Scottie to cancer in 2018, we continue to celebrate her spirit, kindness, and perseverance annually by honoring an outstanding volunteer with the Scottie Johnson Spirit Award.

2020 Recipient: Charles Loeb
The recipient of the 2020 Scottie Johnson Spirit Award is Charles Loeb. Charles has been a dedicated and generous volunteer with Georgia Audubon and has served on the board of directors since 2015 , serving as treasurer for most of his tenure. Georgia Audubon would not be the organization that it is today without Charles Loeb. Under his advisement, Atlanta Audubon established and reached a number of meaningful financial milestones, including the creation of our reserve investment account, and this financial leadership placed the organization in a position to become the statewide Georgia Audubon earlier this year. Charles and his wife, Susan, are well known in the Audubon community as avid birders, sanctuary certifiers, and volunteers. We thank Charles for his dedication to Georgia Audubon. ​

​2019 Recipient: Anne McCallum
Anne has been a dedicated and generous volunteer of Georgia Audubon for more than a decade. In addition to leading monthly field trips at Reynolds Nature Preserve, Anne is an artist and an author, and has volunteered her time and talent to Atlanta Audubon through her creativity and kindness. Anne created Chippy, our Chipping Sparrow friend who is featured in our Learning About Birds curriculum as well as our monthly Ask Chippy column in Wingbars. Anne has generously donated her artwork for greeting cards and publications. She is committed to bird conservation and has been a regular volunteer at the Panola Mountain bird banding station for many years. Anne and her husband, Jim, and son, Eddie, are well known in our community as avid birders. We thank Anne for her dedication to helping us to build places where both birds and people thrive.
