Join Audubon Florida coastal staff to learn how to be an effective bird steward on the beach. You will learn about each nesting site located on multiple public beaches throughout Sarasota County, including Lido Key and Siesta Key. Bird stewards are needed to chaperone nesting sites and chicks while educating the public about sharing the beach with shorebirds. This is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone interested in shorebird conservation and education.
Training sessions for 2023 are over. Watch for new sessions in Spring 2024.

We hope you enjoy our beautiful beaches and waters. In addition to being a great place to sun and surf, our beaches are important nesting areas for sea turtles and our dunes are home to many unique plants and animals. We hope you will help us protect our coastal habitats and wildlife. Sea turtle season is from May through October. Please protect these magnificent creatures and their habitat:
