Bird Club Posts Field Trip

The Lancaster County Bird Club (LCBC) will meet on Thursday, April 9, at 7 p.m. at the Visitor Center at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, 100 Museum Road, Stevens.

Zach Richards will present "Bird Safe Harrisburg: A Year in Review." Richards is a Licensed Professional Geologist with the Department of Environmental Protection. He is a former president of Appalachian Audubon Society and now serves on the Board of the Pennsylvania Audubon Council. He is the founder and chair of Bird Safe Harrisburg, a committee of Appalachian Audubon Society that strives to make the environment less lethal to birds.

Collisions with windows kill over 1 billion birds in the United States each year. This problem is frequently documented by collision monitoring programs all over the world. Bird Safe Harrisburg's program aims to identify the timing of collisions, the species most affected, and the most deadly buildings in Harrisburg. Attendees will learn how the work done in 2025 will help support future conservation goals and how they can be involved in being part of the solution.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 717-891-8145 or 717-725-2717. For details about the LCBC, visit http://www.lancasterbirdclub.org, http://www.facebook.com/lancasterbirdclub, or http://www.instagram.com/lancasterbirdclub.
