Mount Diablo Audubon Society is committed to the sustainable balance of our community's people, birds, other wildlife, and habitat through conservation, education, and advocacy.


Mount Diablo Audubon Society is fighting plans to shoot acorn woodpeckers in Rossmoor. Read more below and get involved!

Mount Diablo Audubon Society is leading the effort to save the vast public lands occupied by the Concord Naval Weapons Station. With the closure of the Navy base, the future use of those public lands is hotly contested. Many folks want to see vast residential and commercial development.

We disagree. Our Board wants to see those lands preserved as open space and the creation of a park that will rival Golden Gate Park. We call our plan the Sustainable Community Alternative.

See below for how you can help!

How can I get involved?

1. Get familiar with the issue and pass the word.
First, download and read these letters from the MDAS Board. Consider sharing them with your concerned friends in our community.

2. Write letters and make phone calls.
Express your own opinon with our local Congress people, local newspapers, the Concord City Council, and others. We believe that letters from residents living in Concord will be especially pertinent. Visit our brand new CNWS Advocacy Center for addresses of our local VIPs, tips on effective letter-writing, and sample letters.
