Learn & experience nature with us!
Buffalo Audubon Society provides a wide variety of programs designed to connect people of all ages and backgrounds with the natural world
For the general public
Join us at one of our many public education programs, hosted at Beaver Meadow Nature Preserve or various sites across Western New York. Check out our current offerings here
For school field trips
Are you looking for a nature experience for your class? We can help! We would love to have your students visit our Beaver Meadow Nature Center, or we can bring nature to you with in-school programming. Our 2024 Program Guide provides details on standard school programs and field trip logistics. Email Naturalist Shelby Green at [email protected] for more information.
For little ones
Twice each month, and all year long, we offer special nature-themed programming just for toddlers, ages 2-4! Learn more and register here.
For libraries, organizations, and community groups
We offer one-of-a-kind nature education and/or birding programs suited for libraries, clubs, youth organizations, and more! Our 2024 Community Programs Guide provides details on our unique programming, and our naturalists are flexible to create custom classes on your nature topic of choice. Contact Naturalist Shelby Green at [email protected] for more details.
Live animal education programs
These programs are always a hit, regardless of age or location! Veteran Naturalist Tom Kerr looks forward to introducing your group to Zelda (our beloved Eastern Screech-Owl, placed with us by the SPCA); Snappy (you guessed it... our Snapping Turtle) and his turtle friends; or our snakes Aragorn (Eastern Kingsnake), Houdini (Black Rat Snake), and/or Cornbread (Corn Snake). More information is here, or you can email Tom at [email protected]
NOTE: A Certificate of Liability is required from each school or organization for all programs, with Buffalo Audubon Society listed as an additional insured. Please contact Kate Watson at [email protected] for more information.
