Pelican Island Audubon Society has surveyed the <br />community and found both the need and the support for <br />an environmental education program. The Society, <br />keenly aware of Indian River County's- unique ecosystem, <br />the myriad threats to it, and the need to educate <br />present and future citizens as guardians of our support <br />system, proposes to construct an Environmental Learning <br />Center. <br />It will be located on the 51 -acre southern half <br />of Wabasso Island, not far from Pelican Island National <br />Wildlife Refuge. The acreage has been leased from the <br />county at one dollar a year for 99 years. <br />The goal is to foster and enhance a sequential, <br />hands-on, interdisciplinary outdoor education program <br />to prepare students to be 'environmentally literate <br />adults; and to inculcate environmental awareness and <br />responsibility in our citizens. It is anticipated <br />that.we shall benefit the county's teachers and the <br />school population, plus the adult community. <br />To achieve our goal we shall engage the resources <br />of both public and private agencies that share our <br />interest in education, including but not limited to <br />FIND, FDNR, FG&FWFC, U.S. Dept. of the Interior, <br />Florida Audubon Society, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, <br />Marine Resources Council, and the public and private <br />schools.of Indian River County. <br />
