Sixty years in, and still growing
Audubon Everglades incorporated in 1966, but our story starts earlier. Ornithologist Alexander Sprunt Jr. named us among the original eight Audubon societies in Florida. A lot has changed since then. We’ve grown into a conservation organization with birds and wildlife at the heart of it, and we keep adding new ways to get outside, learn, and protect the places we love.
Members make that possible. To mark the anniversary, our goal is simple: 60 new members. Join, renew, or bring a friend, and you’ll help us get there.
Pick your bird
Every membership level is named for a bird you can find right here in South Florida. Memberships run for a full year from the day you join. Choose your level and you’ll go straight to our secure sign-up form.
