The Lycoming Audubon Society

Mission: Lycoming Audubon’s conservation and education work, centered in communities, is driven by our enjoyment of birds and the natural world.

WE PROMOTE EDUCATION

• We offer Student Scholarships to one or more high school or college student with a demonstrated interest in the environment and the activities of Lycoming Audubon.
• Our programs to school groups at the Waterdale Education Center and in area schools inspire youth to learn about birds and their need for healthy forested, grassland, and wetland habitats.
• Our monthly programs are open to the general public and feature expert presenters on important birding and conservation topics from around our region, state, and nation.

WE VALUE CONSERVATION

• New in 2025! We are partnering with the Robert Porter Allen Natural Area to enhance habitat by removing and replacing invasive plants with native species to benefit birds and other wildlife.
• We maintain Bluebird Trails to provide nesting sites for Bluebirds and Tree Swallows at Rider Park, the Robert Porter Allen Natural Area, Muncy Heritage Park, and on the County Conservation Learning Trail.
• We work with the Way’s Garden Commission to educate the public and plant native perennials, shrubs, and trees as part of Lycoming Audubon’s Bird Friendly Blooms Project.
• We advocate for individual and community action that protects the critical habitats that birds depend upon.

WE ARE ENGAGED IN OUR COMMUNITY

• We share our knowledge and passion for birds by participating with other community groups at numerous tabling events throughout our area.
• We encourage outdoor recreation and education by offering nearly 40 planned field trips annually.
• We participate in Juneteenth, and welcome people from all walks of life at Lycoming Audubon events.
• For more than 30 years Lycoming Audubon has participated in PennDOT’s Adopt-a-Highway program.
