Audubon Mississippi celebrated a decade of service in Mississippi in 2008. Begining with a generous gift of land and endowments from two sisters, Ruth Finley and Margaret Finley Shackelford of Holly Springs, Mississippi, a state office and the state’s first Audubon Center were established in 1998. The Strawberry Plains Audubon Center operates from a 2500-acre site in Holly Springs and focuses much of its mission on landscape scale conservation with public and private landowners in the upper Coldwater River Watershed.
