Our Mission
is to promote an awareness and appreciation of nature; to preserve and protect natural ecosystems; and to encourage responsible environmental stewardship.
Our Origins
date to the 1950s, when Hernando County had fewer than 12,000 year-round residents. In 1959 we became part of Florida Audubon Society, and in 1971 we incorporated as a nonprofit organization.
Outreach and Education
have always been at the heart our mission. Our programs and field trips are open to all and we do not charge a fee. For many years we have provided the award-winning Audubon Adventures series to participating classrooms in our public schools, giving students the opportunity to expand their understanding of conservation issues.
