Evening GrosbeakThe mission of Fresno Audubon Society is to promote the enjoyment, understanding and preservation of birds and other wildlife in Fresno and Madera Counties in California's San Joaquin Valley through birding, education, science, advocacy, and fellowship.

Founded in 1966, Fresno Audubon is a chapter of the National Audubon Society.

Fresno Audubon holds bi-monthly programs (September, November, January, March, and May), and sponsors regular weekend and Wednesday field trips (typically during the months of September-June). We also publish a monthly online newsletter, entitled The Yellowbill during the months September-June.

Integrated Pest Management in Your Own Back Yard


Ingrid Carmean is a Board Certified Entomologist and an Ecowise certified IPM Practitioner. She has owned her own Pest Control Company since 1993 practicing IPM (Integrated Pest Management) in the Fresno area and serving mostly a variety of large governmental and institutional clients. For four years she was a trainer with the California Department of Pesticide Regulation's School IPM program. She is committed to promoting Integrated Pest Management through example and education particularly in the Fresno area. Ingrid will be presenting information on what are the causes of various pest infestations and how to avoid them, which pests actually need to be controlled, and which can be ignored or tolerated, and what to do when you have a problem and decide to control it. Madeleine Mitchell, a Master Gardener, will be presenting the second half of the session on IPM in your landscape.
