Dear Audubon Community Nature Center Volunteers,

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. January started with the closing of the Nature Center for a couple weeks to clean and organize top to bottom, install our new reception and lobby counter area, and make plans for 2026. We will reopen on Saturday, January 17, and continue with our usual weekly schedule. Thank you to all that helped during these two weeks.  

In Memory of Ann Carlson

Ann Carlson, a devoted volunteer at ACNC, passed away in December 2025. Ann was a presence here at ACNC for many years helping to maintain our gardens and then moving to the Mailing Committee in recent years. Thank you Ann, for your dedication to Audubon; we will miss you.
