Facilities CLOSED until further notice
Out of respect for the health of our employees and community, our national offices have made the very difficlut decision to remain closed to the general public at least until after Labor Day. Our buildings and our front gate will remain closed until we get the green light to reopen. *Researchers, techs, or any one needing to access must have prior arrangements.*
We all hope to return to a semi-normal world soon, but ask for your continued support as we make inconvenient decisions to ensure our own safety and that of the communities we love.
The mission of The Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch of the National Audubon Society is to formulate, test, and demonstrate methods to rehabilitate and safeguard the bioregion, and provide assistance to citizens and policy-makers in the protection and stewardship of our native ecosystems, natural resources and quality of life.

Since 1968 the Research Ranch has been an ecological field station, established by the Appleton family and now managed by Audubon.
Erosion control, eradication of non-native invasive species, replanting of native grasses, and reestablishment of fire are just a few of the ongoing processes at the Research Ranch.
To protect wildlife habitat and ongoing research projects at the Research Ranch, Public Access is Restircted. Some roads and trails are accessible with permission only. Email for more information.
It is impossible to do the things we do on the Research Ranch without funding. It's that simple. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS. Your gift will protect grasslands of the Southwest.
Your gift to our fellowship programs will ensure that student scientists will receive Fellowships to encourage and support their research.
The Research Ranch is a truly unique place that stirs great feelings in those lucky enough to be involved. Please contact us for details about our organized volunteer program.
If you want to conserve native wildlife and habitat, “Living Gently on the Land” will help you understand and protect the plants, animals and landscapes of the Southwest.
