1. Electronic Audubon Resources
Audubon has many electronic resources available to its chapters and members.
Here are a few that you might be interested in:
* Chapter Webmasters Frequently Asked Questions
<http://www.audubon.org/net/coding/faq.html>: An extensive guide to setting
up and maintaining a website for your chapter.
* The Audubon Advisory <http://www.audubon.org/campaign/aa/index.html>: A
bi-weekly electronic newsletter with information and insider reports on
conservation legislation pending in the House, Senate, and governmental
agencies.
* Bird Conservation News <http://www.audubon.org/bird/news.html>: A
periodical newsletter with extensive information on Audubon's bird
conservation initiatives.
* Chapter Communicator
<//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=chapter-communicator>: All
chapters are encouraged to have at least one leader subscribed. An
electronic list that enables Audubon staff to Pass on information almost
instantaneously, and also to provide a forum where we can post preview
materials, shortening the lag before chapters have critical information and
give newsletter editors and other chapter officers more time to use the
information.
* Audubon News <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=audubon-news>:
An electronic list for information about environmental policy and Audubon.
***If you have found other resources that are particularly helpful to your
work as a chapter leader, please let us know and we will include them in a
future edition of Audubon Ohio News. Write to us at ohio@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Audubon Ohio recently published a case statement for environmental education
in Ohio. It is now available on our website in PDF format (requires the free

involving the sale of different bird related items. Items include limited
