125 Years of Audubon in Florida

2025 celebrates 125 years of Audubon in Florida. Formed to bring wading birds back from the brink of extinction, Audubon has been working for more than a century to protect birds because we know that the things birds rely on—healthy habitats, clean air, abundant fresh water, resilient coastlines—are the same things that people and other wildlife need to thrive. Birds are symbols and sentinels to measure our success, and they inspire us to work collaboratively and expansively throughout the hemisphere. In simplest terms, “what’s good for birds is good for the Earth.”

About the exhibitor: Audubon Florida works across the Sunshine State to protect and advocate for birds, special places, water quality, and more. We have successfully united the sanctuary management, ecosystem science, and environmental education programs of National Audubon Society with Audubon Florida’s role as the state’s leading voice for conservation. Together with a statewide network of grassroots chapters, Audubon Florida offers a compelling record of accomplishments and an even brighter promise for the protection of our state’s great natural resources.
