The Grange Insurance Audubon Center is one of 32 conservation action centers across National Audubon Society’s network and the first in the country to be built so close to the heart of a major city.  Located within Scioto Audubon Metro Park, our center represents a major urban reclamation and redevelopment project encouraging environmental awareness and stewardship through education and public programming, activities, and events.
