"THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY, COMMIT INDIVIDUALLY"

The purpose and dedication of Orange Audubon Society (OAS) is to promote public understanding of, and interest in, wildlife and the environment that supports it. OAS' education programs foster the recognition of the intangible values in the remaining natural beauty of Florida and the World, and the responsibility for the conservation of the Earth's remaining natural resources.

Members are encouraged to participate on any of the special committees. Contact the chair of the committee to offer your help.
