Explore, discover, and protect Aullwood by joining today

Explore, discover and protect Aullwood by becoming a National Audubon Society and Friends of Aullwood member now! As a member, you and your family can connect with nature and farming for pennies a day. Aullwood's 200-acre serene sanctuary, nature center and sustainable farm, just five minutes from the Dayton International Airport, await your year-round visits. Your contribution continues the natural legacy begun in 1957 when Marie S. Aull established one of the Midwest's first nature centers with a gift of land to the National Audubon Society.

When you become a joint member of National Audubon Society and Friends of Aullwood, your membership gives you both local and national benefits. You also play a vital role in preserving our natural environment for yourself and future generations. How? Your membership dollars provide funds to help fulfill Aullwood's mission to promote appreciation, knowledge and stewardship of the Earth. Your support enables us to maintain our 200-acre nature sanctuary and provide environmental education programs for over 70,000 children and adults annually. The Friends of Aullwood board is committed to providing the resources which make Aullwood one of the premiere nature centers of the National Audubon Society.

Explore our memberships for individuals and families of all sizes below. Your annual membership provides you and your family a year’s worth of outings, adventures, classes and moments you will never forget. A membership can also be a great deal for you! Memberships are especially beneficial to local Miami Valley families and neighbors who come to the nature center or farm more than once a year. If you are a two parent family with two children and visit Aullwood just three times a year, you are already spending the cost of a yearly membership without getting all the extra benefits of joining!

Aullwood does not receive support from tax dollars, and is not a part of Five Rivers MetroParks. Our funds are raised through admission, tuition, special events, grants and contributions, rentals, memberships, store and farm sales and endowments. Your support of Aullwood makes it possible for us to serve our community and offer life-changing programs. Thank you for being part of the Aullwood family!
