Boardwalk App v1.1

Version 1.1 of the Francis Beidler Forest boardwalk-specific app is now available for free at iTunes.  A tab bar has been added to make navigation easier between the information, guidebook, and species menus.

The homepage contains links to information related to the Audubon Center at Francis Beidler Forest.
















The guidebook menu contains links to all the information in our printed guidebook plus additional images and information for the areas between the marked guidebook stops.















The species menu contains links to images and information for the species that one is likely to see from the boardwalk.


We are building a set of iPod Touches for use by school groups when they visit the swamp.  Currently, we have 8 units with each unit containing the boardwalk app and the Audubon bird guide app.  We need to 25 devices in order to host school groups of up to 100 students (4 students per device).

If you are interested in supporting this program, a $250 donation will allow us to purchase one complete set (8MB iPod Touch, sturdy/water-resistant carrier, and microphone).

Family Answers Call of Wild


We'll be working the weekend at the Audubon Center at Francis Beidler Forest, so we're not there today.  However, a piece regarding Beidler Forest appeared in today's The Post and Courier.   Since we are not there, we'll let Ms. Amy Kirk describe the swamp "in her words."
