The Voice of Conservation in Florida
For more than a century Audubon has encouraged people to take care of the places that make Florida special. Using science to guide our priorities and birdlife to measure ecosystem health, Audubon advocates for the protection of land, water, and wildlife. Audubon is Florida’s most influential conservation organization and conducts extensive work to protect the Everglades and coastal bird habitats. We manage sanctuaries covering thousands of acres along with two popular nature centers. Audubon promotes stewardship and appreciation of public land and water so people experience and cherish Florida’s natural beauty and wildlife.
The other night we ate a dozen oysters. They were so good, fresh and salty, that we ordered another dozen. Apalachicola oysters, smoked mullet, redfish, swatting no-see-ums and watching herons roost as the sun set over saltmarshes – this is our coastal heritage.
Living in South Florida, I am surrounded by beautiful waterways. From the Miami River, to Biscayne Bay to the Atlantic Ocean, water is seemingly everywhere. But it’s also a treasured resource for Floridians.
Toxic algae blooms and other coastal water crises led Audubon Florida to make advancing water storage south of Lake Okeechobee our top legislative priority this legislative session.
Located in the city of Maitland and the Town of Eatonville, this urban environmental Audubon Center focuses on the rescue, medical treatment, rehabilitation, and release of Florida’s raptors.
A visit to Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is a journey into the heart of the Everglades ecosystem. Enjoy a stroll on the 2.25-mile boardwalk through a bald cypress forest!
