Historically of all these groups using the Audubon name, which entity was
first to use it in Arkansas? This “confusion” really began when Audubon
Arkansas came to town, if I recall correctly. I joined the Arkansas Audubon
Society back in the 90’s. Became a life member of the Arkansas Audubon
Society a couple of years ago. I’ve been proud to be a member of the
Arkansas Audubon Society. And now, because of this “confusion”, all of a
sudden it is felt that a change in name needs to be made. Honestly, I’m
very disappointed.
Are we really changing the name because of “confusion”, or does it have to
do with the controversy surrounding Mr. Audubon?
Thank you,
Sandy Berger
