ARC AT THE PARK

The Tampa Audubon Society, in cooperation with the Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department, has established the Audubon Resource Center at Lettuce Lake Regional County Park (ARC at the PARK). The resource center was created to help foster a culture of conservation and an environmental ethic in the Tampa Bay region and to encourage community involvement in the Audubon mission.

Director - Mike Mullins

Tampa Audubon hopes people will visit ARC at The Park for information, education, resources related to the Audubon mission. The admission is $2 per vehicle and $1 per person over 8.

ARC at the Park:

• Provides a variety of environmental education programs and field trips for all ages.
• Displays wildlife native to the Hillsborough River watershed.
• Promotes Audubon Society membership and sponsorship for "Audubon Adventures" environmental education materials for local elementary schools.
• Assists park visitors with wildlife and plant identification.

Volunteer Training:

We are in urgent need of additional volunteers to staff the facility. Volunteers commit to one Saturday or Sunday afternoon per month, from 1-5 p.m. Training is simple and available. The only skills you need is a love for the environment and a willingness to share a friendly smile with the visiting public. These 4 hours you spend a month are hugely rewarding. Please visit the ARC or email Mike Mullins if you are interested. If you know anyone that would like to become an active ARC volunteer, please share this with them.

Stop by the ARC to see how you can get involved!
Audubon volunteers are at the ARC on Saturday and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m.
