About Us:

The Venice Area Audubon Society (VAAS), a chapter of the National Audubon, serves Venice, Nokomis, Osprey, North Port, and Englewood, Florida. Founded in 1965, the purpose of VAAS is to promote an understanding of and interest in wildlife and the environment that supports it, and to foster the cause of conservation with emphasis on birds and their habitats. VAAS sponsors birding field trips and walks, bird censuses, Christmas Bird Counts, and Sarasota County school education projects.

Venice area bird news and conservation efforts are described in five issues of the VAAS newsletter Wings & Things each year. Free evening programs held monthly at the Venice Audubon Center from September through May feature prominent birders, nature photographers, and environmental activists. VAAS supplies speakers for neighborhood community programs and works cooperatively with both local and national environmental advocacy groups.
