SUMMARY:Plants for Birds: Create Your Own Bird Sanctuary Series
DESCRIPTION:Audubon Everglades will guide you through established native plant gardens to learn how to attract and support resident and migratory birds.\n\n\nJoin us as Audubon Everglades takes you on a five-week journey to selected sites with established native plant gardens\, demonstrates how best to attract and support resident and migratory birds\, and helps you visualize which plants would thrive in your own bird sanctuary.  \nEach week you will have the opportunity to ask questions of experts in the native plant field. So\, if you’re trying to decide which native plants to acquire\, or wondering if your plot of land or balcony is big enough\, or which native plants your HOA will most likely allow\, this five-week series will help provide answers.  \nTaking place on various Saturday mornings from January 4 – March 29\, 2025\, we will explore five diverse urban and suburban habitats that nourish birds\, butterflies\, and pollinators with their fruit\, nectar\, seeds and leaves\, and visit two native plant nurseries.

This 15\,000-acre shallow reservoir temporarily holds peak stormwater flows\, up to 4 feet deep. Controlled release directs the water to nearby Stormwater Treatment Areas (STAs) for nutrient removal before entering the Everglades. Note that the Western Levee is currently closed due to construction. \n \n \n\n\n \nMeeting Place: We’ll meet in the parking lot as you enter. (Before the first pond) \nIf for somereason the gate is not open for the parking lot\, we will meet near the restrooms\, which are now covered with a brown building. Avoid parking where the boat access is located. If you can’t attend\, please remember to cancel your ticket. For further assistance\, you can contact fieldtrips@auduboneverglades.org. \nCheck in is at 0750. \nDirections to the southern entrance near MM 60 of Highway 27 South: \n\nUse Highway 27 South.\nThe southern entrance is located near after mile marker 53.\nGPS Coordinates: N 26.398430\, W 080.58799.\n\nPlease be prepared for potential fog and GPS misdirection. \nImportant Notes: \n\nRegistration Required: Advance registration is essential\, as we cannot accommodate walk-ins.
