Gifford Pinchot Audubon continues

MILFORD, PA —Dedicated members of the Gifford Pinchot chapter of the National Audubon Society met on February 3 to work out a plan to re-energize and re-focus the group.

Community members who turned out for this session felt strongly about continuing the chapter, especially its Audubon Adventures program, which distributes environmental education materials to 43 classrooms in 8 regional schools.

A meeting to discuss program focus will be held on Thursday, March 24 at 7:00 p.m. at the chapter’s home, Grey Towers National Historic Site. The session is open to the public.

In addition to the Audubon Adventures program, the chapter plans to organize bird walks, day hikes on nearby trails, canoe/kayak trips, annual events such as the Christmas Tea and Program at Grey Towers, to participate in national events such as the Great Backyard Bird Count and to focus on emerging regional issues such as the habitat impact of whitetail deer.
