About Little Rock Audubon Center

Learn about the center's programs and staff.

The Little Rock Audubon Center is part of the National Audubon Society's network of conservation action centers. It is also the Arkansas headquarters for Audubon Delta, a regional office of Audubon. Located in the historic Black community of Granite Mountain, the center provides a network of trails for the public. It serves as an environmental education hub and demonstration site for Audubon's on-the-ground habitat management. 

The center hosts field trips for central Arkansas K-12 students and summer internship opportunities for teens. Additional enrichment programming focuses on the needs of underserved, low-income communities in Little Rock. Audubon staff now educate nearly 3,000 K-12 students, families, and adults each year at the center, classrooms, and natural sites throughout the state. 

The center showcases Audubon's commitment to creating bird-friendly communities through native plant landscaping, habitat restoration, and advocacy workshops. The facility is 100 percent solar-powered and provides free EV charger access. Four miles of trails wind through 400 acres of diverse habitat, including globally rare nepheline syenite glades and Gillam Park's upland and bottomland hardwood forest, all within minutes of downtown Little Rock.
