As the Chattanooga area's oldest conservancy organization, we serve as stewards for 4 unique nature sanctuaries:

Elise Chapin Sanctuary at Audubon Acres

Maclellan Island
Picture
David Gray Sanctuary at Audubon Mountain

Mackey Branch
At this time only Audubon Acres and Maclellan Island are accessible.
The Chattanooga Audubon Society was formed in 1944 by Robert Sparks Walker to protect the land on which he had spent his youth, now known as Audubon Acres. Mr. Walker was a highly respected and noted naturalist in the 1900s and his reputation and work lives on today. He believed that we had an obligation to educate people on the ways of nature, that we needed to protect our environment, and that we could learn much from the indigenous people who had lived in this area for thousands of years.

Today, we work diligently to continue Mr. Walker's legacy of stewardship and education. We invite you to join us in this mission by becoming a member, making a donation, or volunteering your time. Share in the rich history of our sanctuaries while fostering an understanding of humanity's long interaction with nature within our community.
