Birdsong Nature Center
We need Volunteers! See our Volunteer page for more information.
Founded as a non-profit nature preserve and education center in 1986, Birdsong is dedicated to preserving and maintaining its lands in a manner that is most beneficial to wildlife, and to fostering in the public a greater understanding and appreciation of nature.
The 565 acre center is open to visitors on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week. We are located mid-way between Tallahassee, FL, and Thomasville, GA, on Meridian Road, 4-miles north of the Florida-Georgia border ( Hours ~ Location ).
Meandering throughout Birdsong's lands are 12-miles of
nature trail well suited for casual hiking. The varied woodland,
wetland and old-field habitats support a diversity of wildlife,
and offer an ideal setting for observing and enjoying the quiet,
ongoing beauty found in our natural communities.
We offer a wide variety of natural science programs, for young and old
alike, lead by local scientists and expert
volunteers (
