Welcome to the Grange Insurance Audubon Center
Exploring the Nature of Change
Less than a 10-minute walk from downtown Columbus, on a half-forgotten
bend in the Scioto River, lies a fragile green oasis, a tiny
jewel, a hidden haven for wildlife and birds set amid an industrial
landscape now in transformation. At the heart of this transformation
will be the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, one of
the first such centers in Audubon’s storied history
to bring hands-on conservation and nature-based learning this
close to the core of a major American city.
The Grange Insurance Audubon Center in the Scioto Audubon
Metro Park is located in an Important Bird Area (IBA) where
thousands of birds migrating from Central and South America
use this spot along the Scioto River as a stopover during
their long journeys.
The restoration of the Whittier Peninsula is happening through
a unique partnership of City of Columbus Recreation &
Parks Department, Metro Parks and Audubon Ohio.
