About Pascagoula River Audubon Center

In 1974, more than 35,000 acres of land along the Pascagoula were preserved for the public. This landmark preservation purchase, spearheaded by The Nature Conservancy, has protected a unique ecosystem and grown to the current 70,000 acres that keep the largest free-flowing river in the contiguous United States one of the wildest. Wildlife abounds in the Pascagoula River, including some species that are found nowhere else on the planet.

The center provides visitors and students direct exposure and experience in a rich environment, serves as a demonstration site for environmentally-friendly landscaping, and is a portal to nature-based programming for all ages.
