You Can Make A Difference!  

Audubon of Florida has made each Audubon chapter part of a region in order to allow chapters in a geographic region to cooperatively develop conservation strategies on issues that impact the natural resources of their area. Florida is divided into 6 Conservation Commissions, which take the ecosystem areas of the state into account and generally follow the boundaries of the Water Management Districts:

We need your help to accomplish our 4 conservation priorities. Everyone has a place in conservation action. Commit to contribute your time in any of the following ways:
