Program Meetings
​
We offer lectures and programs on various topics throughout the year.
These include topics ranging from local to global, and also bird trivia nights! Lectures are often offered in a hybrid format (both in person and via Zoom). Many thanks to our speakers throughout the years who have shared their knowledge.
Plants for Birds Outings
​
We offer Plants for Birds Outings once a month on the second Saturday, between May - October.
These outings focus on the native plants, trees, and shrubs that sustain the birds that visit our sanctuary. The outings highlight blooming wildflowers and notable trees and shrubs, and highlight their role in supporting our avian visitors. No special equipment is needed, just bring your curiosity!
