Tucson Audubon Society
Criteria for Listing Accommodations &
Guidelines for Proprietors

Background
The Tucson Audubon website has listed birder-friendly accommodations in southeast Arizona for some time. It originated with a list that is available in our publication, Finding Birds in Southeast Arizona. Tucson Audubon staff decided that a formal set of criteria was needed to determine which accommodations are eligible for listing on our website. Only businesses who have become Community Members of Tucson Audubon will be listed. These are the criteria that resulted:

Criteria for Listing Birder-Friendly Accommodations:

1. Establishment is in southeast Arizona

2. Establishment is located near known birding areas or public lands (national forests, national monuments, etc.), OR
Establishment provides special services or resources for birders (such as early breakfasts, sack lunches, feeder stations, wildlife-related library, birding expertise on staff, etc.)

3. Establishment maintains a "community membership" in Tucson Audubon.

Accommodation Listings
For accommodations conforming to these criteria, Tucson Audubon will list the establishment's name, address, contact information, and other relevant information on the Accommodations for birders provided by Business members of Tucson Audubon page, as well as on our Business members page. Accommodations will also be considered for inclusion in future editions of our publication Finding Birds in Southeast Arizona.

Optional Opportunities for Wider Publicity
From time to time Tucson Audubon holds local meetings, staff retreats, or other events throughout the southeast Arizona region. Establishments willing to host such events would have the opportunity for greater publicity through articles about the event in our newsletter (the Vermilion Flycatcher) and through visitation by attendees who might not otherwise know about the establishment. To talk about such opportunities, contact Vivian MacKinnon, (520) 629-0757.
