What we’re about
Get outside and see what's there! Come inside and listen to one of our monthly speakers! Meet other local birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts on Florida's Space Coast (Brevard County area). This meetup is for all those who appreciate Florida's amazing biodiversity and are interested in its conservation. Our group 's primary season is October to May during which we host monthly meetings with informative speakers. During our season we also offer multiple field trips each month that offer bird watching, wildlife viewing, plant and butterfly spotting, and opportunities for photography--all age groups and skill levels welcome. . We'd like to encourage impromptu meetups for special sightings or bird counts. For more information visit our website at www.spacecoastaudubon.org. Our Chapter is part of the national Audubon organization and a portion of the funding for our programs comes from individual memberships to Audubon.

We kindly request each person bring a dish to share. Please indicate in the comments which category of food or drink item you plan to bring. Seeing a general list of what people plan to bring helps us to avoid having too many items in the same category. We will provide serving utensils, silverware and power strips to plug in crock pots and warming trays.
** Sustainable Event **
Please bring your own personal food service gloves, if preferred, a cloth reusable napkin and a container for leftovers. We are looking for 3-4 volunteers to stay after the event closes to hand wash, dry and put away the silverware and utensils. This will enable us to use the Church's dinner service items and alleviate use of plastic. Please add a comment/reply to the Meetup event or email: info@spacecoastaudubon.org if you would like to volunteer.Suggested Food Categories and Sample Items:
