Business Description
Less than a 10 minute walk from downtown Columbus, the Grange Insurance Audubon Center lies on a fragile green oasis, a tiny jewel, a hidden haven for wildlife and birds along the Scioto River.
Set amid a once industrial landscape, the area dramatically changed, owing to a partnership betweenthe National Audubon Society, City of Columbus and Columbus & Franklin County Metro Parks with the creation of the Scioto Audubon Metro Park. GIAC opened in 2009 and is a nature center that serves two functions- an educational sanctuary and a monitor for the Important Bird Area. Thousands of birds migrating from Central & South America use this spot along the Scioto River as a stopover during their long journeys.
In an effort to help people achieve GIAC's mission of introducing people to nature, as well as supporting programs, the Audubon Center offers a rental of its various facility spaces. We would like to express our thanks for your interest in holding your special event at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center. By choosing to hold your function at GIAC, you are helping to support these broad conservation objectives:
-Reducing & sustaining management of invasive exotic threats to the Scioto Audubon Metro Park
-Increasing & restoring land and river zones along the Scioto River
-Providing nature-based educational programming for the greater Columbus community, in an effort to create a connection to nature and encourage environmental stewardship
-Protecting and monitoring the Scioto-Greenlawn Important Bird Area as to understand the vulnerable and native populations of birds
