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.
Florida’s beaches may be quieter in the winter, but the Sunshine State’s coldest months are important foraging and resting periods for vulnerable sea and shorebirds.
Phyllis Hall earned the Volunteer of the Year Award both for her dedication to birds and the places they need as well as consistently going above and beyond in her service to conservation.
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!
