Critter of the Year
Each year since 2007 we have chosen a Critter-of-the-Year and structured programs to build awareness of, and respect for, a particular species found in our ecosystem.
Each year's animal is on that year's Wild Amelia Nature Festival t-shirt design.
2024 is the year of the majestic Pileated Woodpecker. Learn more about these beautiful birds…
About Wild Amelia
Wild Amelia, now proudly a program of Keep Nassau Beautiful, began in 2007 when a group of volunteers joined together with the goal of protecting the natural habitat remaining on Amelia Island and in Nassau County, Florida.
The original mission of promoting a conservation ethic for our unique and fragile ecosystem continues and grows as a program of Keep Nassau Beautiful.
