Mississippi Coast Audubon Society MCAS Charity Profile
Since its charter in 1976, Mississippi Coast Audubon Society has played an active role in many areas – conservation and protection of natural resources, advancing student educational services, partnering with other organizations and agencies for habitat enhancement and wildlife preservation such as the Prothonotary Warbler Trail at Ward Bayou Wildlife Management Area. MCAS members also fill the volunteer ranks at festivals and other outdoor events.
From its inception in 1975 to the present, under the Nest in Peace project, the chapter has taken the lead in gaining and maintaining safe mainland nesting areas for beach-nesting birds, such as Least Terns and Black Skimmers.
Though our major fund-raiser is the annual Yard Sale in the fall, we also participate in other fund-raising opportunities. In turn, we proudly dispense the majority of such funds to various worthwhile causes.
Within the chapter there are experts on many facets of nature, from birds to bees and everything in between. MCAS keeps a full and varied schedule of field trips at which non-members are always welcome. While most trips take place within the six southernmost counties – our “member counties,” some plan-ahead field trips go as far as Louisiana and Alabama. Our public meetings (see meeting schedule) are spiced with appealing subjects.
