This is one of the oldest organizations dedicated to conserving wildlife and nature in the United States. It was founded in 1909. Visitors will have a chance to check out not only the Nature Center but also 150 Acres of woodland behind it which is part of the sanctuary, open to the public, and has 4.5 miles worth of hiking trails. The Nature Center has a Wildlife Care Center, and auditorium, taxidermy exhibits and even a store. Thousands of animals are brought here to be treated and nursed back into help annually. Some animals, specifically birds, that are too injured to survive in the wild anymore are kept here. The society occasionally organizes events and Exhibits. One of these is the Wild Arts Festival which has been going on for 36 years and it helps raise money for the society. Check the Audubon Society website or details about upcoming events. The society also organizes trips and camps educational in nature.
