Welcome Pintler Audubon!
The Pintler Audubon Society has officially merged into the Sacajawea Audubon Society (SAS), and we are delighted to welcome members in the former Pintler region to our growing community! You will begin receiving the electronic SAS Newsletter each month from September through May. Prefer a printed copy? Please let us know, and we will be happy to provide one.
Your National Audubon Society membership connects you with SAS as your local chapter. We also encourage you and your family to consider a local SAS membership. Local dues and donations stay here in Montana to support conservation projects in your region.
