As part of our extensive community outreach programming, CAS hosts a series of educational events, hosted at Moccasin Lake Nature Park . With few exceptions, these meetings are free and open to the public.

Each event begins with a Mix & Mingle session where you can meet a variety of people from all walks of life who share a common passion. We believe that diversity, equality and inclusion are essential to creating global citizens who celebrate the unique differences of all and understand that each person plays a critical role in our global society.
Audubon Florida’s Holley Short is part of the organization’s Coastal Program. Holley will discuss monitoring, management, and stewardship of shorebirds in the Tampa Bay region and how YOU can help protect these amazing birds.

Wonderful Woodpeckers!
2021-02-03 10:00 - 11:00 | ZOOM, United States
Woodpeckers, the under-appreciated architects of the forest. Woodpeckers have an amazing role in our forests. Sure they knock on trees, eat a few insects, and even excavate a small home in the woody confines of our trees, but without them many other birds and wildlife would be severely impacted if not eliminated.
Join Sensing Nature Wildlife Biologist, Jeanne Murphy as she chips away and reveals the woodpeckers’ critical role in our forests. Be sure to ask Jeanne why woodpeckers do not get a headache after knocking around on all those trees.
