Nature in Riverwood
The Riverwood Audubon Club led the successful effort to have Riverwood recognized by the National Audubon Society. "As the first private community in the State of Florida to receive the Audubon International Green Community Award, Riverwood has demonstrated a strong commitment to embodying the ideals of sustainability—economic vitality, environmental protection, and social responsibility," says Joanna Nadeau, Manager of the Sustainable Communities Program. "With the surrounding natural landscape of the ‘wild and scenic’ Myakka River, and Charlotte Harbor, an important Florida estuary, Riverwood has much to celebrate. It is a unique place filled with residents that care deeply
about the place they call home."
The Riverwood Audubon Club is a longstanding club in our community that has hosted many events with guest speakers and educational material handouts to help residents better understand Riverwood’s “natural amenities”, including protected species and native plants, and the benefits we all derive from them.
