The Augusta Bird Club holds regular meetings from September through April. In lieu of the regular meeting in December, we have a holiday party, and in May or early June we have an annual outdoor picnic brunch.
The Augusta Bird Club organizes field trips throughout the year, usually two or three in most months. Ordinarily, we meet at a designated location in our near Staunton or Waynesboro and then drive to the destination by "carpooling." For additional information on upcoming field trips, such as whether to bring snacks or a bag lunch, and the need to dress appropriately for the weather, please consult the current Newsletter. Other upcoming events such as our annual cleanup along Bell's Lane (in conjunction with Earth Day in April) may be listed below as well.
The Augusta Bird Club monthly meeting will be held on Monday, November 13, at Covenant Presbyterian Church.
Program: Environmental Issues for the Shenandoah Valley.
Speaker: Bobby Whitescarver
