Sarasota Audubon Society Nature Center

The Nature Center is located in the heart of the Celery Fields – Sarasota County’s number one birding destination! Once an agricultural mecca for celery farmers, today the Celery Fields is the county’s award winning storm water treatment area and one of the ‘birdiest’ places on the Great Florida Birding Trail. With 440 acres of restored wetlands, it provides habitat for 220 species of birds and a diversity of wildlife. Stopping by the Nature Center will enhance your enjoyment of the Celery Fields with education, information and amenities:

• Find out about the local habitat and wetlands
• Learn about sustainable design in the soon-to-be LEED certified building
• Brown bag it and watch birds from the large, covered patio
• Refill your water bottle at the hydration station
• Shop at the gift store for hats, water bottles and more
• Pick up an Audubon Activity Schedule or sign up for birding class or a workshop
