Audubon Adventures-Jr. Audubon
Audubon Adventures is a program specifically developed for younger kids who want to learn about nature. Manatee Audubon is looking to cultivate "Junior Audubon" members who may decide to continue their interest in learning more about nature, birds, wildlife, conservation and the environment as they grow.
Our school season Audubon Adventures program typically hosts their sessions at Felts Audubon Preserve in Palmetto (4600 24th Avenue East...near the corner of Experimental Farm Rd and 24th Avenue East). You can join any month; we meet monthly for these programs on the 2nd Saturday usually at Felts Preserve unless otherwise noted on our events calendar.
