About US

A Florida chapter of the National Audubon Society
Founded by Wm Wolfarth 1966

"Working together to preserve and protect our ecosystems through our joy in watching birds."

The members of the Pasco Audubon believe that protecting and conserving nature and the environment transcends political, cultural, and social boundaries. We also believe that the inclusion of people from all backgrounds, lifestyles, and ethnicities will enhance our ability to conserve habitat and wildlife for future generations. We resolve that these principles will guide our future activities and outreach.

Programs are scheduled the first Saturday of the month at:

Starkey Environmental
Education Building
