Orange Audubon Society (OAS) has many activities for you and hopes you will engage with our chapter.
OAS is working toward a nature and environmental education center on the Lake Apopka North Shore. With the incredible popularity of the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, we have secured a long-term lease to an old nursery site that was deeded to the City of Apopka by the St. Johns River Water Management District, specifically for restoration and education in partnership with our chapter. The 69-5 acre site is to the right of the entrance to the Wildlife Drive. OAS is working toward renovation of an existing building onsite for the nature center and has engaged Little Diversified Architectural Services. Learn about our project on Thursday, September 19th 7pm at Leu Gardens in the Camellia Room. Free and no reservations are necessary. Email info@orangeaudubonfl.org, if you have any questions.
OAS’ 2024-25 annual brochure was mailed to our members in early September and lists all our activities for the coming season. If you are not a current OAS member, please join here online through the Join/Renew tab above. You can also download the brochure by clicking on its cover to the left.
