World Shorebirds Day
2025-09-06 | FL
Some 50% of the world’s shorebird species are in decline, and vital habitat is being lost at a higher rate than ever.
We urgently need to raise public awareness around the world of these imperilled birds’ plight and the need for shorebird conservation and research.

Clean Up the Tampa Audubon Sanctuary
2025-09-06 09:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | FL
As our part of an agreement between Port Tampa Bay and the Sierra Club to manage the Westshore Audubon Sanctuary, we are collaborating on a cleanup on September 6, Saturday, meeting at 9 a.m. and working until 11 that morning to remove trash and debris from the area on the north side of San Jose Street. Dress in walk-in-the-water closed-toe shoes and long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Let Todd Randolph of the Tampa Bay Sierra Club know you will come, please toddrrandolph@gmail.com.

The Westshore Sanctuary offers natural shoreline habitat, with mangroves, cordgrass, sandbars, oyster beds, and mudflats. Mangrove crabs, small fish, and night herons are resident. It remains a special, unchanged, natural shoreline along the west shore of Tampa’s Interbay Peninsula. For more information, please contact President Ann Paul at Ann.Paul@tampaaudubon.org

We are teaming up with the UF/IFAS Extension Family and Consumer Sciences agent to support the Let’s Walk Florida Program! You are welcome to join us just for a fun educational day or to join the Lets Walk Florida Group!
Let’s Walk, Florida! Is a six-week walking program designed to encourage a physically active lifestyle. Walk anywhere on your own time, but also join the optional structured group walks to not just earn activity minutes, but to learn about our ecosystems. Join the group here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lets-walk-florida-pasco-tickets-1595865609999?aff=oddtdtcreator
We will provide a headset listening device so you can hear the tour easily during the walk! This walk will include boardwalks and dirt paths with around 1.5 miles of total walking. The first half of the tour is on the boardwalk and is much shorter if you want to join and only attend part of the tour! Bring hats, water, and walking shoes.

During this 90 minute walking tour, participants will learn how to become citizen scientists by discovering how to properly identify species and how to import their sightings into a global data collection platform. There will be multiple stopping points along the way as we examine the interactions between humans and nature while conducting citizen science.
