Lycoming Audubon Advocates for Conservation
We work to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, and use our collective voice to advocate for policies and legislation at the local, state, and national level that affect birds and future generations.
- We are partnering with the Robert Porter Allen Natural Area and Rider Park to enhance habitats by removing and replacing invasive plants with native species and support forest health initiatives.
- Our Bird Friendly Blooms project encourages nurseries to stock native plants, shrubs, and trees, promotes native plantings in backyards, and we have incorporated native plants with signage into the public park at Ways Garden in Williamsport.
- We participate in PADOT’s Adopt-a-Highway clean-up program.
- We are working with municipalities to obtain Bird Town designation and promote sustainable conservation activities throughout our communities.
- We partner with the PA Audubon Council and Mid-Atlantic Audubon to advocate for birds and the natural world.
- We maintain Bluebird Trails, a Chimney Swift tower, a Purple Martin house, and American Kestrel nest boxes.
- We promote and participate in Citizen Science efforts like the annual Christmas Bird Count and Pennsylvania Bird Atlas.
