National Audubon Society
Los Angeles, CA
 
The Audubon Center at Debs Park is part of a national network of nature centers developed by National Audubon Society to reach underserved communities. The Center operates under the aegis of Audubon California, a state field program of National Audubon Society, and is a vital part of Audubon's national outreach initiative targeting Latino audiences.

The Audubon Center offers standards-based educational programs in partnership with local schools that encourage curiosity and critical thinking, and inspire a greater interest in science and nature. Our suite of free bilingual community programs contribute to the overall health and well-being of our neighborhood by delivering the rich experiences that come with healthy outdoor recreation and a connection with the natural world...
