The RRAS is the Southern Nevada chapter of the National Audubon Society.
The mission of Red Rock Audubon Society is to protect, restore, and improve natural ecosystems, focusing on birds and other wildlife, and to educate the public about our unique Nevada environment.
 
 
REPORTING RARE or INJURED BIRDS and ANIMALS
  • Injured Birds: Call Lisa Ross, Director of the Wild Wing Project, at 702-238-0570.  You may also contact her via email.
     
  • Rare bird sightings:  Call 702-390-9890 and leave a message.  Or email Nevada Birds at the Audubon Listserve
    The Nevada Birds emails are also an easy way to follow what other birders are seeing throughout the state and an excellent planning resource for out-of-area visitors.

 Other Resources:

  • Injured Songbirds:  Call 702-876-0387
  • Injured Raptors:  Call the North Las Vegas Veterinarian Clinic at 702-642-5353
  • Other Animals:  Call the Nevada Dept. of Wildlife at 702-486-5127
VOLUNTEERS
  • Volunteers are vital to any organization!  Sign up sheets for the various events will be at our monthly meetings or you can call Pam Nickels at 702-375-7230.  Just an hour or two is all we need!

FUNDRAISING & SALES

  • CANS! CANS! CANS!   Please donate your aluminum cans to our recycling project.  RRAS collects aluminum cans to purchase classroom subscriptions of AUDUBON ADVENTURES for the Clark County school children.  Contributing your aluminum cans for recycling is an easy and environmentally conscience way to help our cause.  Children are our future and need our support in every possible way!  We have recycled cans and accumulated more than $5,000 since beginning this project in 1994, but our continued success depends on your participation.

    How to help: Bring clean (and preferably crushed) cans to any general meeting.  Cans will be collected in the parking lot by Felix Owens before the meeting begins. You may also phone Felix at 702-395-5510 to arrange a special pick up.

    Recycle ink cartridges!   In addition to collecting aluminum cans for recycling, we also collect used OEM inkjet printer cartridges.  Cartridges generally take about 1,000 years to decompose, so recycling and/or remanufacturing is crucial!  Working with Empties4Cash.com, RRAS collects inkjet and toner cartridges for recycling and in turns raises funds to help support our mission.  You can join in by donating your empty cartridges and encouraging others to recycle.

    How to help:  Either pick up a postage-paid mailer or drop off the cartridges at any general meeting or Pam Nickels' office (Direct Access Lending, 650 White Drive, Suite 200, LV, 89119).  Arrangements may also be made by contacting us via our website email.

    Thank you for your support!  Together, we can help the environment in reducing landfill by recycling and raise funds for our organization at the same time!
