Using science to guide their priorities and birdlife to measure ecosystem health, Audubon advocates for the protection of land, water, and wildlife. Each February, for four days, the world comes together for the love of birds. The Great Backyard Bird Count, taking place February 14-17, 2025, is an inter-organizational effort between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, National Audubon Society, and Birds Canada. Over these four days you are invited to spend time in your favorite places watching and counting as many birds as you can find and reporting them. These observations help scientists better understand global bird populations before one of their annual migrations. Come learn how to participate in this community science effort and about the joy of birding, even in your own backyard!Save the date! Blowing Rocks Preserve will be partnering with Audubon of Martin County’s birder, Lorraine Morecraft, to lead a public bird walk to conduct a survey for the Great Backyard Bird Count on Saturday, February 15, 2025.

Thanks to more than a million members and the dedicated efforts of our diverse staff and over 400 scientists, we impact conservation in 79 countries and territories: 37 by direct conservation impact and 42 through partners.\nAfter six decades of protecting Florida’s great places, TNC considers \nBlowing Rocks Preserve\n one of our proudest achievements. This peaceful, barrier island sanctuary is a well-known model for large-scale, native coastal habitat restoration. The natural features found here are disappearing fast from many Florida islands, and a number of endangered plants and animals call this special place home—including rare loggerhead, green and leatherback sea turtles.\nThe preserve was named for its rocky Anastasia limestone shoreline—the largest on the Atlantic coast. At high tide when the sea is rough, seas break against the rocks and force plumes of saltwater up to 50 feet skyward. It’s an impressive sight.\nBlowing Rocks Preserve is one of four campus preserves under TNC Florida’s Center for Conservation Initiatives, advancing conservation through education and training, outreach and volunteerism, science and research, and land stewardship.
