Birdsong Nature Center

Birdsong Nature Center is 565 acres of meadows that are filled with wildflowers, forests, ponds and variety of birds and wildlife. Visitors can come to the nature center and enjoy serenity and the natural beauty of the area.

The nature center started in the early 1800's starting as pristine longleaf pine forest plantation, to a farm and now to the center that serves as a conservation and learning area for visitors. The center was founded by Betty and Ed Komarek so that visitors could come and enjoy the natural beauty of the land and to create a living museum and an outdoor classroom.

Visitors will be able to view the birds from the Bird Window or the surrounding gardens and pool that have over 160 species of birds including rare sightings. There are over 12 miles of Nature Trails for casual hiking and exploring.

From April till November visitors can come to the Butterfly Garden, here they can relax and watch the butterflies in a natural habitat and observe their life cycle. The center features a Listening Place which tunes into the sounds of nature along with a screened pavilion that overlooks the Big Bay Swamp.

The Birdsong Nature Center is opened from Wednesday till Sunday with a small admission fee charged to visitors; a membership is also available which provides free admission to members.
