Involve your Organization
In 2012, over 50 Audubon chapters and other organizations offered scholarships to generate publicity and inspire their members with new experiences. If you are affiliated with such a group, please consider sending someone to a Hog Island program in 2013. Space can be reserved in the organization’s name until you choose a participant.
