New Hope Audubon Society - for Birds and the Environment in NC

After a successful vote by our membership on May 2, it is official: our new name is the New Hope Bird Alliance ! We are eager to enter this new phase of bird conservation work under our new name. Thank you to everyone involved for your dedication, patience, and support throughout the process to find a name that better reflects our focus: birds, their protection, and the joy they bring. This decision is anchored in feedback from our community, and was cemented by an overwhelming majority membership vote.

More to come soon on our redesigned new logo, tagline, and yes…merch!

Events & Bird Outings

Events for the next seven days:

Wednesday, 17 July

NHBA Bird Outing
7:00 am to 9:00 am

For questions, contact Don Pelly at [email protected]. The location will be Eno River Association's Confluence Natural Area, 4214 Highland Farm Road, Hillsborough, NC.

This outing is sponsored by the New Hope Bird Alliance (formerly New Hope Audubon).

Outings usually last 2-3 hours. No reservations or sign-up needed. If there is a large turnout for any particular outing, we may split into two groups. We do recommend carpooling for families or friend pods; while we love pets, there is a ‘no-pet’ policy for bird outings. New birders and birders of all skill levels are welcome.

Please wear long pants, socks, and sturdy shoes (ticks and chiggers may be present). Sun and bug protection are also recommended. Bring snacks and water if you like. Heavy rain will result in cancellation.
