In 1990, the Coeur d'Alene Audubon Society was established as an independent entity, breaking off from the Spokane Audubon group. The decision to form a separate club came after accumulating a sufficient number of members to support a local organization dedicated to birding and environmental conservation efforts.

Since its inception, the Coeur d'Alene Audubon chapter has grown, fostering a community of nature enthusiasts passionate about avian species and habitat preservation. With a focus on education, outreach, bird monitoring programs and field trips, the club has played a vital role in raising awareness about local bird populations and environmental issues in the Coeur d'Alene area. As a 100% volunteer-led chapter, our accomplishments are a tribute to the power of volunteering.

Over the years, the club has organized various activities such as conservation projects, birding excursions and guest speakers to engage members and promote a deeper understanding of the natural world. Through these initiatives, Coeur d'Alene Audubon continues to uphold its mission of protecting birds and their habitats while advocating for environmental stewardship in the region.
