How can I find out when my membership expires?
Your membership expiration date is printed on your membership card in Month/Day/Year format. You can also reach us at member@maineaudubon.org or call 207-781-2330 x230 to verify details of your membership.
I want to give a gift, but I don’t want to become a member.
Thank you for supporting Maine’s wildlife! We are happy to honor your request. Please email member@maineaudubon.org, call 207-781-2330 x230 or include a note with your donation to let us know your giving preferences.
Will a restricted gift (a gift to a specific fund or project) or a tribute gift (a gift in honor or in memory of someone) count towards my membership?
Restricted, tribute, honorary, or memorial gifts do not count towards Maine Audubon membership.
Why am I receiving renewal notices before my membership has expired?
We send renewal notices starting the month before your membership expires so that you have plenty of time to renew before your benefits lapse.
If I give a gift membership, will the recipient receive the benefits of membership?
Yes! All new and renewing members (including recipients of gift memberships) have access to Maine Audubon membership benefits.
If I am a member of Maine Audubon, am I also a member of the National Audubon Society?
No. Maine Audubon is not a National Audubon chapter; we have an independent, collaborative relationship and share conservation goals.

The member-exclusive “Breakfast and Birds” event happens twice per year in the summer months.
