Peoria Audubon Society does not hold membership meetings in the summer, but we do sponsor a number of field trips during the summer months. Check our continuously updated Calendar of Events for the latest opportunity to get out in the field. Non-members and novices are welcome to enjoy nature with our experienced birders. The first membership meeting of the 2008-2009 season will be on Sept. 10 will be to discuss Restoration of Rivers and Streams in Illinois. Brad Walker, River Restoration Coordinator, for the Prairie Rivers Network, will speak on their work of protecting the rivers and streams of Illinois to promote the lasting health and beauty of watershed communities. According to Brad, "In 2006 we expanded into the related issue of river restoration. We are specifically working to raise awareness and improve conditions for restoration activities to occur along the Upper Mississippi and Illinois River's area within Illinois."
