We hope everyone came through the storm okay and without serious damage. The property came through okay, but the trails are not safe at present and there is no electricity or water. We will re-open as soon as possible and announce the opening here and on social media.
The Sammy Tedder Concert scheduled for Oct. 13 at Birdsong has been postponed. We will announce a new date for the concert as soon as we can.
Best wishes to all with recovery efforts - please be careful!

Background
From the early 1800's to the present, the land now known as Birdsong
was transformed from pristine longleaf pine forest to a
plantation, then farm, and now a center for
conservation and learning.
Founders Betty and Ed Komarek
created this haven for wildlife so others will have a place
to experience nature and become inspired to protect natural
resources everywhere. Using fire, they created habitats
that support a great diversity of wildlife species. The
resulting living museum and outdoor classroom are used year
round for natural history instruction and hands-on
learning.
Features - Visit the Bird Window for an extraordinary and intimate bird-viewing experience. The surrounding gardens and pool have attracted over 160
species of birds, including many rare and first sightings.
- Twelve miles of Nature Trails provide the perfect setting
for casual hiking and exploration.
- The Butterfly Garden,
vibrant with colorful butterflies from April - November is
an entrancing place to relax and observe the butterfly life
cycle.
- Tune in to the sounds of nature at the Listening
Place, a screened pavilion overlooking Big Bay Swamp.
We invite you to experience Birdsong for yourself. Our hours are: Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 9 AM - 5 PM, and Sunday 1 PM - 5 PM Admission is $5 for adults, $2.50 for children 4-12 years old Free to members
