About

Who Are We? 

We are Midlands Nature and Bird Alliance (MNBA), located in Columbia, South Carolina. We were founded in 1971 and are a chapter of the National Audubon Society. We are active in both birding and conservation activities in and around the Midlands of South Carolina. Meetings are held several times each year, generally from September through May. If you are interested in joining or just curious about us, sign up for our emails here. Non-members are welcome at all of our meeting and typically welcome to our events.

Oh, yeah, we are also 100% volunteer led. We don't have any employees or interns or anyone that knows much about properly running an organization, but we do our best!

We hope you will find Midlands Nature and Bird Alliance is a place for you to be you. We don't care what you look like or whether or not you can tell a bluebird from a cardinal. The only requirement for joining us is curiosity and kindness!
