On the Whittier Peninsula, just south of downtown, the Grange Insurance Audubon Center provides vital educational services to central Ohio. It is the first in the country to be built so close to the heart of a major city,only one mile from downtown Columbus, and is the focus of a major urban reclamation and redevelopment project that involves Audubon, the City of Columbus, and Franklin County Metro Parks. The facility is located within The Scioto Audubon Metro Park, on the Scioto River and is a community gathering place for those who live and work downtown, as well as everyone in the Central Ohio area.
We have volunteer projects to fit a range of interests!
Garden Crew - Help us design, plant, maintain and teach about our native plant gardens, including a rain garden, green roof and butterfly gardens!
Citizen Science and Bird Conservation - An avid or amateur birder? Interested in science, nature or conservation? You can participate in projects like bird banding, point count monitoring, dragonfly surveys and more! Training is provided!
Invasive Species Management - An ongoing project is restoring our habitat by the removal of invasive plants and the replanting of native species that benefit birds and other wildlife. If you like working outside, and making a difference while working up a sweat, this could be for you!
We also have opportunities to volunteer as a greeter, in the gift shop or on special events!
