Join us for a spring bird walk at the Otto and Magdalene Ackermann Nature Preserve in North Huntingdon Township.  The forested slopes and open floodplain of this secluded property are a good place to see many of our native birds as well as the occasional spring migrant.  This guided walk will be slow-paced, but will involve clambering down some steep sections of trail. Please bring binoculars and wear sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent.

Join Dr. Jim Kellam of Saint Vincent College to observe spring birds at the St. Xavier Nature Preserve.  Please bring binoculars, wear sturdy shoes, and dress for the weather.
