Established in 1984 serving the communities of South Hillsborough County
Welcome. As a chapter of the National Audubon Society, we seek to increase interest and involvement in our local and state environment, its history, wildlife, preservation and restoration. Monthly meetings are held October through April, with guest speakers addressing environmental issues and increasing members’ knowledge of birds, wildlife, insects, and fish. Frequent field trip allow members to engage in birding activities as well as explore local areas of interest.
Trips and speakers for our upcoming season are in our Fall Brochure.
For current updates on club happenings, please see our Facebook page.
Meetings
Our meeting place is St. Andrew Presbyterian Church located at 1239 W Del Webb Blvd in Sun City Center. Our meetings are open to everyone.
Our meeting day is the third Monday of the month, from October through April. Doors open at 1:00 pm, and meetings start at 1:40 pm.
Navigation:
From Kings Point in a golf cart or car, exit via the front gate and cross 674 and continue onto Valley Forge. Make a left onto Fordham to the Hospital sign where you will turn left on Haverford. Continue to W Del Webb and turn right. The church is on the right a short distance down W Del Webb.
Coming from the west on 674, it is easier to go to the light where the turn is for Kings Point but get in the left lane to turn onto Valley Forge and follow the directions above.
From the east go past Kings Point and take a right on W Del Webb.
