Have you ever heard of Taylor Slough? It’s the system of wetlands that brings water to the Florida Bay, and it is a vital habitat for nesting waterbirds, like the Roseate Spoonbill.

How much do you know about grasslands? Did you know that half of people in the United States know almost nothing about them?

Grasslands stretch from coast to coast across the U.S. and play a vital role in supporting wildlife, storing carbon, and sustaining our food systems. Audubon is proud to be part of America’s Grasslands Coalition.

This Grasslands Week, we invite you to join us and learn more about grasslands and the Grasshopper Sparrows, Bobolinks, prairie-chickens, and other species that call these places home. Head to the link in our comments to learn more.
