Audubon of Florida is co-hosting a special event on Saturday, March 26 to celebrate the sources and sustainable uses of abundant clean water in our area. The Festival will be a fun and free event for the whole family with water-related activities taking place in and around Ebro.

At the Festival you can learn about the importance of protecting water supplies; experience the springs, lakes, creeks and wetlands of the local area; visit places that make NW Florida special and get up close with plants and animals from the area.

The public can come to the Ebro Town Center anytime from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. on the day of the Festival and talk with representatives from environmental and other community groups including our state parks, the Native Plant Society, the Florida Trails Association, and the Bay County Audubon Society, among others. Kids will also have an opportunity to see and feel some local “critters,” including snakes, a wolf cub and a touch tank of marine life. At the Town Center, you can sign up for one of three water activities taking place in the area: kayaking (beginners welcome!); a guided walking tour along one of Florida’s marked trails; and a “bog” walk where you will learn to identify the plants and animals that live in or near the water.
