The Sunny Lake Bird Sanctuary
For decades, the South Florida Audubon Society has worked to protect birds, wildlife, and their habitats.
Now, SFAS has a place to call home.
The Sunny Lake Bird Sanctuary, located at 5300 Griffin Road in Davie, Florida, is now home to SFAS and will serve as a center for conservation, environmental education, birding programs, and community activities.
This new home gives SFAS a place to welcome the community, inspire the next generation of conservationists, and provide hands-on opportunities to learn about and protect South Florida’s birds, wildlife, and natural habitats.
We’re excited to begin this next chapter at the Sunny Lake Bird Sanctuary, and we invite you to be part of it.

Protecting Florida's Burrowing Owls - Project Perch
In the heart of Broward County, a unique conservation effort is making waves—or should we say, “hoots”? Introducing Project Perch, a vital initiative spearheaded in 2008 by avian biologist Kelly Heffernan and the South Florida Audubon Society
Our Mission: Project Perch is dedicated to safeguarding the charming and crucial Florida burrowing owls. These owls not only face threats from habitat loss but also from rapid urban development. Our mission is to ensure their protection and to nurture their populations across Florida.
