Why Join East Lake Washington Audubon as a Chapter Member?
East Lake Washington Audubon ("ELWAS") offers a chapter membership so that the community may directly help support our activities. You may become a member of EAS in two ways. By joining the National Audubon Society you will become a member of EAS, or you may purchase a Chapter Membership without joining National Audubon. We encourage you to join both organizations!
With over 1,000 members, ELWAS is one of the largest citizen-membership groups representing environmental and ecological interests in East King County. Members are the reason ELWAS has been so successful in its efforts to protect birds and the natural environment of East Lake Washington, since its foundation in 1981.
Your entire membership donation supports our Chapter. We will use every dollar locally for conservation, education, and advocacy - all aimed at preserving important wildlife habitat on the Eastside of Lake Washington.
