Overview

Mission

Focus on conservation and environmental education to ensure that the Sacramento region's natural ecosystems and diverse bird population are preserved, restored and made available for study and enjoyment.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Sacramento bird population is under constant threat from development and habitat destruction. SAS works constantly to mitigate these effects. We support several local environmental organizations including ECOS (Environmental Council of Sacramento), the Effie Yeaw Nature Area, Friends of the Swainson's Hawk and others through grants, volunteers and other direct actions. We also are in charge of maintenance of the 430-acre Bobelaine Sanctuary.
