COVID-19 Notice At the present time, due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, all previously scheduled Peoria Audubon Society membership meetings - that would normally be held at Forest Park Nature Center - are hereby cancelled or postponed until further notice out of concern for the health and safety of our members and the community. Instead, we will be offering programs virtually via Zoom. A Zoom link will be provided to our email subscribers prior to the event. All programs are open to the public and free. Although field trips are on hold, birding walks and informal birding events are being planned where physical distancing and safety can effectively be practiced. We encourage everyone to enjoy the outdoors while remaining safe.

Work Day at Oak Bluff Nature Preserve Request for volunteers to come to the Oak Bluff Nature Preserve 4-miles southwest of Henry, IL to assist with removing invasive species. The local ICC SAFE student group will also be helping out. (Google Map) Bring water and work gloves. Loppers and/or saws should be available. Working with a dedicated group should be fun, and we'll remain socially distant. It's a great place that needs some TLC to let nature show through. After a few hours, we'll sit back and enjoy nature! |
