Preservation
We endeavor to conserve South Florida’s natural ecosystems by advancing science-based advocacy and working with partners to:
Protect bird rookeries and safeguard nesting shorebirds
Defend the Miami-Dade Urban Development Boundary to protect the Everglades and our drinking water
Advocate for the health and restoration of Biscayne Bay
Preserve and restore imperiled Pine Rocklands habitat
Promote bird-friendly communities and native habitat across urban landscapes
We connect people with nature and cultivate the next generation of environmental advocates via:
Our 2.2-acre wooded campus serves as a conservation incubator and sanctuary, bringing the community together through Youth Programs, Native Plant Sales and Conservation Concerts
Ambassador Programs that train adults and teens to advocate for South Florida ecosystems
CHIRP!, which inspires youth from underserved communities to explore the wonders of birds and nature
Free Birding Field Trips for all levels and ages led by expert guides
Tropical Audubon Society moved into the now-historic Doc Thomas House in 1976, a gift from our benefactor Arden Hayes Thomas. Our treasured 1932 headquarters and Florida Heritage Site has since been a gathering place for the conservation community.
Its preservation complements our mission. Free guided Doc Thomas House history tours are offered seasonally.
