About the Mississippi Headwaters Audubon Society
The Mississippi Headwaters Audubon Society (MHAS) is a local chapter of the National Audubon Society serving northern Minnesota. We protect birds and the places they need, inspire lasting connections between people and nature, and steward the Neilson Spearhead Nature Preserve.
Our mission is realized through conservation, education, and community engagement. We provide hands-on learning opportunities for all ages, grow citizen science projects, and manage the preserve with research-driven ecological practices.
About the Neilson Spearhead Nature Preserve
Located just 11 miles southwest of Bemidji, MN, the Neilson Spearhead Nature Preserve is a living laboratory and community hub. With maintained trails, interpretive signage, and gathering spaces, it hosts educational programs, ecological demonstrations, and community events year-round.
The preserve shelters a remarkable diversity of life, with over 200 documented plant species, rare wildlife habitats, and abundant bird populations. As stewards, MHAS ensures this land remains protected forever through a perpetual conservation easement.
