Lake Elberta Park is one of Tallahassee’s best kept birding secrets, tucked away in a historic African American neighborhood between Florida A&M University and Florida State University. Apalachee Audubon received a special Audubon grant to help restore the lake and share its significance with the diverse Tallahassee communities nearby. Students from both local universities are receiving scholarships to serve as local Audubon ambassadors. With the resources and support of Apalachee Audubon members, these ambassadors work with the community to restore the lake and teach diverse populations about the importance of this local natural treasure.
