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.
As a member of Audubon's Conservation Leadership Initiative, I was eager to deepen my understanding of environmental conservation, but unsure of where to begin. When the opportunity to participate in the alternative spring break arose, I saw it as the perfect chance to further my knowledge.
For decades, Audubon has advocated for water treatment and storage solutions north of Lake Okeechobee to address these issues while supporting broader Everglades restoration goals.
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!
