The 10th Annual Space Coast Birding & Wildlife
Festival celebrates a "Decade of Dedication - 1997
to 2007" for ten years of promoting nature-based
tourism and outdoor adventure opportunities on Florida's
Space Coast. We welcome you and appreciate you sharing
this landmark occasion with the Brevard Nature Alliance,
sponsors, partners and volunteers. Moving the date from
November to January positions the Festival from the
last such event of the year to the first such event.
Birds and wildlife are more abundant in January, the
hurricane season that produces erratic wet weather is
over and sites that were impossible to traverse in November
are more accessible.
The Space Coast Birding & Wildlife Festival was
created in 1997 to showcase the unique nature, wildlife,
and technology in Brevard County. When a small group
of volunteers met ten years ago to plan the concept
of this event, the use of science and technology to
benefit wildlife emerged as a central theme. Recent
contributions of our international friends have added
a completely new dimension. The list of worthwhile accomplishments
is long and the collection of presenters and field trip
leaders is a virtual Who's Who within the environmental
community. The Festival is recognized nationally and
internationally as one of the most prestigious birding
and wildlife venues due to its exceptional line up of
speakers and field trip leaders as well as the excellent
location for viewing endangered animals and plant species.
Please take the time to visit the historic downtown
areas of Titusville, Cocoa and Melbourne. Interesting
shops, art and craft galleries and specialty restaurants
await you. Take a leisurely walk through one of our
many riverfront parks or enjoy the quiet of our inner-city
refuge areas.
Thank you for choosing to come to the Space Coast
Birding & Wildlife Festival. We hope you will have
an enjoyable experience that will move you to return
for many more visits.
