🌱 Something new is taking root at PRAC, and you’re invited to help it grow!

Save the dates for Growing Forward, a hands-on learning series with Dr. Mark LaSalle and the PRAC team. Come learn about native plants, practice a new growing skill, and stay to help us care for the greenhouse, native beds, bird feeders, and grounds.

Our building may be temporarily closed, but there is plenty growing at the Pascagoula River Audubon Center.

Come learn. Stay to help. Grow forward with us!

See the flyer for all upcoming dates and details.

Every fall, the sky over the Delta fills up as birds make their way South for the winter. Audubon Delta offers a variety of programs centered on this journey throughout our region.

We'd love it if you joined us in September as we celebrate together — both virtually and in-person.

Thank you to our friends at Only In Mississippi for shining a spotlight on the Pascagoula River Audubon Center and the incredible birdlife of the Pascagoula River.

It’s a wonderful reminder of just how special this place is. The Pascagoula River and the habitats around it support an extraordinary diversity of birds and wildlife, creating opportunities to explore, learn, and connect with nature right here in Moss Point.

As we Grow Forward, we’re continuing to care for the habitats that make these experiences possible, from native plants and pollinators to the birds that depend on them.

🌿 There is so much here worth protecting, sharing, and discovering.

Over 300 bird species thrive in a single afternoon at one remarkable center. Link in comments to find out more. ⬇️

Students at Magnolia Middle School in the Moss Point Career and Technical Education Center’s 6th grade cyber foundations class kicked off River Heroes Academy by exploring how water connects our neighborhoods, rivers, wildlife, birds, and Gulf.

Working in teams, students tackled watershed challenges, weighed possible solutions, and saw how one decision can make a difference downstream.

That’s River Heroes: learn it, solve it, act on it.

🌊 FROM LEARNING ABOUT CONSERVATION TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

Moss Point Aquaculture students are bringing environmental learning to life through STREAM: Students Tackling Runoff, Ecology, Aquaculture, and Microplastics, a Pascagoula River Audubon Center program that connects classroom learning with hands-on conservation experiences.

Their job-shadowing project in collaboration with the Walter Anderson Musuem of Art brings together science, art, water stewardship, and community as students create colorful storm-drain murals showing how runoff can travel to our rivers, bayous, and the Gulf.

This is where learning becomes action. Through STREAM and River Heroes Academy, students can build their understanding of healthy rivers and habitats, investigate real environmental challenges, and begin discovering the many careers connected to conservation, aquaculture, water quality, wildlife, restoration, and other Gulf Coast industries.
Learn the science. Take action. Discover where it can lead.

We’re proud to grow these opportunities alongside the Moss Point Career and Technical Education Center and the Walter Anderson Museum of Art.

A beautiful example of the many ways birds can connect people, places, and communities.

Colombia is the most bird-rich country on Earth, with over 1,900 species that birdwatchers flock to see! (Maybe you’ve been one such bird-lover?)

Learn how birdwatching tourism is transforming the biodiversity of the small town of Ambalema into economic opportunities for the community at the link in comments.

We had such a great time connecting with everyone at the Levitt Music Series! It was inspiring to see so many new River Heroes join us in bringing awareness to our coastal rivers.

Meet PRAC’s newest River Heroes!

One thoughtful choice can help keep Ospreys soaring above our Gulf Coast rivers.

At the Levitt Music Series at the Moss Point Riverfront, neighbors of all ages joined PRAC’s River Heroes experience. They answered fun questions about the river, chose an action, added their promises to our River Heroes board, and proudly earned their badges.

Their promises included reducing litter, conserving water, fishing responsibly, protecting wildlife, and caring for river habitat. These actions help sustain healthy waterways for Ospreys and other birds that depend on our rivers for food.

River Heroes turns curiosity into conservation action, one promise at a time.

Look for River Heroes at upcoming community events, or invite the experience into your K–12 classroom. For school programs or corporate volunteer opportunities, contact [email protected].

Discover your river. Understand its story. Become a River Hero. 💙
