The Alachua Audubon Society’s mission is to foster appreciation and knowledge of birds and other native wildlife, to protect and restore wildlife populations and their habitats, and to promote sustainable use of natural resources.
After a long pause from Spring 2020 through Spring 2021, Alachua Audubon has resumed our birding field trips with a full slate starting 8/29/2021!
You can find the Fall 2021 field trip list on our Field Trips page.
