Northwest Florida Water Festival will Celebrate Natural Resources

Audubon of Florida invites you to join the local community for a day of outdoor activities that explore the unique environment surrounding the springs, lakes, creeks, and wetlands throughout Bay and Washington County.

This first-time event celebrates Northwest Florida's waters - a recreational paradise, incredible natural resource, and delicate ecosystem.  The day's activities will include a guided hiking tour, kayak and canoe adventure, bog walk, and touch tank of creatures native to our region.  Please mark your calendars and plan to join us as we learn how to protect this special area for the enjoyment of future generations.
