Aims of the 
ILLINOIS AUDUBON SOCIETY 
a ft ft 
THE SOCIETY was organized in 1897 for the study and protection of 
wild bird life, and with the following as its objectives and principles: 
First: To create and keep alive a consciousness of, and 
to encourage the study of, our native wild birds. 
SECOND: To disseminate knowledge of the birds and their 
economic value to our agriculture and forests through 
literature, pictures, lectures, and any other available 
means. 
THIRD: To conserve as far as possible their natural 
environment, and to work for their safety through 
education and the betterment and enforcement of State 
and Federal laws relating to birds. 
FourtH: To establish, and to assist to the best of our 
ability in the establishment of, bird sanctuaries in Illinois. 
FirtH: To interest children through the schools. 
SixtH: To discourage in every possible way the destruc- 
tion of wild birds and their eggs, or the wearing of any 
feathers other than those of domestic fowl. 
You know what an important part birds play, protecting crops and all 
plant life from the attacks of insect pests, and adding to the music of the 
out-of-doors and to its color and beauty. The economic and aesthetic values 
of birds demand that the most thoughtful and far-reaching effort be 
exerted for their protection. We ask you to consider our cause and to 
join us in an effort to realize the ends toward which we work. All fees 
and bequests other than those paid annually are held in an Endowment 
Fund, only the income from which is used for current needs. No officer or 
director is paid and all money received is used for the advancement of the 
aims of the Society.
