Kerncrest Audubon

The Kerncrest Audubon Society is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization dedicated to helping people learn about local wildlife, especially birds, and our natural surroundings. We are a chapter of the National Audubon Society.

Headquartered in Ridgecrest, California, we serve the Indian Wells Valley and the Kern River Valley areas. We have bi-monthly meetings, monthly field trips, and sponsor several community activities. We invite members and the general public to participate in any of our activities.
