Audubon of Kansas (AOK) is an independent grassroots nonprofit defending natural ecosystems in Kansas and the central Great Plains. We are the steadfast voice for wildlife when decisions are being made at the county, state, and federal levels. We conserve and restore wild areas through our Protected Areas Program. We connect people with nature through birding festivals, field trips, and publications.

AOK owns and manages three protected areas, with plans to expand. Made possible by land donations and stewardship contributions, these protected areas conserve land, honor legacies, and offer public enjoyment and education.
Advocacy Spotlight
Prairie-chickens, with their vibrant mating displays and unique vocalizations, serve as key indicators of healthy prairie ecosystems. These birds depend on diverse grassland habitats, shaped by sustainable grazing practices like patch-burn grazing, which create the varying grass heights they need for mating, nesting, and raising chicks. AOK champions conservation programs and policies that protect prairie-chickens, advocating for habitat-focused solutions over captive breeding.
