Our first event for 2022 kicks off with an interactive program of learning stations. Sarah Lucas and Brenda Ecken, our local bird and nature enthusiasts will walk you through the nesting season of Bluebirds, Chickadees and Nuthatches.  You will learn about their nests, broods, what they eat and the common predators.

Did you know that Skidaway Island is on the migration path for Monarch Butterflies?  Meg Kettlitz, a member of Skidaway Audubon “Nature Notices” committee and Master Gardener will explain the life cycle of the Monarchs and the newly created Monarch Butterfly Trail here on the island. The new trail features plants that help to attract the Monarchs as they migrate in the fall.

This event begins at 8:45 AM for check-in. The presentations will be from 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM on Saturday, June 25 at the CCA Outdoor Education Center located at the Kid’s Fishing Lagoon adjacent to Log Landing Road and the Oakridge Fire Station.  After the session, kids and their parents have the opportunity to fish for one hour.  Rods, reels and bait is provided by Coastal Conservation Association (CCA).  CCA volunteers will be available to help.

Cast Away Hats are available for $10.00, a great way to support Cast Away Club's free events.  Attendance is limited.
