Upcoming Events
 
Don't miss our May 21 general meeting, when Charlotte Goedsche will present on Asheville's Cerulean Warblers. The meeting starts at 7:00 pm in room 102 of the Reuter Center at UNCA. As this is our annual Birdathon program, a $5 per person donation is requested. Funds will go to land conservation at the Cerulean Warbler Reserve in Colombia and to a $400 UNCA Environmental Studies scholarship.
 
Note: For maps to meeting and walk locations, please see "map" links in the Google calendar below.
Unless otherwise noted, all programs and bird walks are free and open to the public.
