The Loxahatchee River District is an Independent Special District created by the Florida Legislature in 1971. It is governed by a five-member publicly elected Governing Board. We operate an award-winning facility that collects wastewater from the community and recycles it for irrigation needs, preserving fresh water supplies for the environment. By engaging the public with relevant and compelling environmental education opportunities, such as the River Center and Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, we foster stewardship among residents and visitors. As the leading authority on the Loxahatchee River, we also spearhead ongoing water quality studies and collaborate on river restoration projects.

Here are some essential details to keep in mind:

Registration is Required: To ensure a seamless experience, registration is a must. We won’t be able to accommodate walk-ins, so please register in advance.

Limited Group Size: In the spirit of creating an intimate and enriching outing, we’re keeping the group small and focused on bird enthusiasts.

Considerate Cancellations: If you register for an event but find yourself unable to attend, we kindly request that you cancel your ticket. This gesture allows others the opportunity to participate and enjoy the event. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Photographs are a wonderful way to capture the beauty and fun of our birding adventures. We encourage photographers to take photos for their personal use and enjoyment and to share them on social media. By signing the AE consent, you agree to having your photo taken and used on our social media page.
