Mission
The Burroughs Audubon Nature Club (BANC) is an all-volunteer-led organization dedicated to promoting the natural sciences, ecology, and conservation through high-quality educational programs and field trips, regular habitat restoration activities, and nature-centered social gatherings. For over 100 years, BANC has been committed to providing its members lifelong learning opportunities about all aspects of the natural world. Our membership is open to all. Many of our current members are amateur and professional naturalists, educators, birdwatchers, entomologists, botanists, geologists, arborists, gardeners, and nature photographers, writers, painters, musicians, and outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. Most members live in the greater Rochester, NY region.
