Who we are
For decades, Audubon Everglades has been connecting people with the birds and wild places that make South Florida unique.
We began as a small group of passionate bird watchers. Today we're a community of biologists, scientists, educators, and nature lovers of all ages. We lead field trips, run citizen science projects, and offer workshops and presentations, virtual and in person, that help people notice, understand, and protect the wildlife around them.
We don't have a physical location. We're migratory, and you'll find us perched in spots all across Palm Beach County. Look for us somewhere near you.
Inspiring the conservation of wildlife and wild spaces while promoting the joy of birding.
Our vision: We envision a world where wildlife thrives, ecosystems flourish, and the wonders of bird life are cherished and protected for generations to come.
Our core values: WINGS
At the heart of all we do are the values that guide and inspire us.
Welcoming to All
Birds bring us together. Our programs and events are designed to be inclusive, accessible, and respectful of our many different backgrounds, abilities, and perspectives. Whether you're a seasoned birder or a curious newcomer, you'll find a place in our community.
Inspiring Wonder
Birds inspire our awe and wonder. By connecting people with birds and ecosystems in meaningful ways, we strive to spark curiosity and deepen appreciation for the intricate, breathtaking beauty of the natural world. Wonder is the first step toward stewardship.
Nurturing Nature
Birds need our protection. Through our programs and initiatives, we work to support native and migratory species, restore ecological balance, and promote long-term sustainability. In everything we do, we strive to model an ethic of care for the land, the creatures, and the communities that depend on them.
Grounded in Science
Birds benefit from our informed actions. We collaborate with scientists, educators, citizen scientists, and other experts to ensure that the knowledge we share and the decisions we make are evidence-based: responsibly grounded in the best knowledge we have and responsive to new discoveries.
Sustaining Hope through Stewardship
Birds give us hope that we can make a difference. When we monitor bird populations or promote native gardens, we are thinking beyond today. Stewardship is an act of hope, fueled by our unwavering commitment to wild birds, our planet, and our own future generations.
