Named for the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, the Kalmiopsis Audubon Society has been the primary local conservation advocacy group in Curry County for more than 40 years.

ROOTED DEEP IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES, our grassroots organization advocates on behalf of hundreds of Curry County citizens for conservation, responsible land use, and good stewardship of our public lands and wild rivers.

OUR MISSION IS TO PROTECT THE EXTRAORDINARY AND DIVERSE NATURAL HABITATS OF SOUTHWEST OREGON — including old-growth forests, stunning coastlines, and wild rivers — for birds, fish, wildlife, and future generations.

Our Newsletter

THE STORM PETREL

Read the Storm Petrel online!

Our quarterly newsletter, The Storm Petrel, is the best source for news about local issues of wildlife and environment on the South Coast.

It is named for the Leach’s storm petrels that live a pelagic life over the Pacific and nest in burrows on grassy islands off our coast – the closest they come to shore. There is a large storm petrel colony located on the sea stacks near Brookings.

The Storm Petrel has repeatedly won awards from the National Audubon Society as the best newsletter for a chapter of our size! Free copies can be picked up at libraries in Port Orford, Gold Beach, and Brookings. If you are a member of Kalmiopsis Audubon, you will receive your copy in the mail. The “Petrel” is generally mailed in late January, April, July and October. You can help with the newsletter by volunteering at our mailing parties. Please contact Ann for more information at ann at kalmiopsisaudubon dot org.
