About us
Halifax River Audubon serves the northeast section of Volusia County. As a chapter of Audubon, we conduct meetings, events and classes throughout the year focusing on birds and the environment.
Our most popular activities are our field trips. We may go to a local park or travel to a nearby refuge and sometimes roam a little further. We may walk or hop on a boat or drive refuge roads. All outings are different and we offer trips at varying activity levels. We welcome bird watchers and nature lovers of all skill levels.
On the field trips we will comply with Covid-19 protocols. We will focus on small groups meeting at the venue and will walk or drive keeping in mind social distancing.
We welcome nature lovers of all ages, families, students, folks who want to explore Central Florida and our neighborhoods. We are looking for folks who enjoy spending time outdoors and learning and sharing the world of birds. For more information, please check our web site:

Orlando Wetlands Park
Orlando Wetlands Park, 25155 Wheeler Road, Christmas, FL, USThe Orlando Wetlands Park is a man-made wetland designed to provide advanced treatment for reclaimed water from the City of Orlando and other local cities. The Park is 1650 acres in size and located in Christmas, Florida. The Orlando Wetlands Park is open to the public for passive recreation use. We will be walking the extensive dike system. Prepare to walk +/- 3 miles. The walking is level and easy and will include the new boardwalk. On dry days tennis shoes are comfortable. If there is rain before the outing, you might consider more substantial footwear.
If you would like to join us but are a little concerned with extended walking, the Orlando Wetlands Park offers public tram tours to highlight the creation, operation, management, and wildlife of the Park. No reservations are required; tours are first-come, first-served. Tours last 45-60 minutes and are free. (Donations welcome.) The park provides a volunteer tour guide. If you prefer this option, the arrangements will be your responsibility. If you require more information, check the Wetlands website below or call 407-568-1706.Bring water, snacks, sun protection, good walking shoes and especially a spotting scope if you have one. Some folks pack a lunch to eat at the available picnic tables after the walk. It is amazing how many species we see while munching and chatting.
Participants are asked to drive directly to the venue. Meet at the Wetlands Park at 8AM. Travel time will be about an hour from Daytona. We suggest that you ride with your friends - always encouraging car pooling!
