ASCR has a history of providing a presence at community events. Recently, volunteers have staffed tables at local farmers’ markets, plant sales, and environmental health and safety events. Of special note is the ASCR Annual Bird Seed Sale, which is a major fundraiser for the Society. The Sale and the ASCR Annual Meeting are two of the largest recurring events, but we are always looking for more ways to spread the word about birds.  If event is cancelled or postponed, we will post it here and on our Facebook page.

September 13th- Helderberg Hawk Watch, Thacher State Park Overlook, Thacher Park Rd.,  New Scotland, 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

We will again be attending this year’s hawk watch count.  We will have an information table and you are welcome to stop by and speak with us about this event.  Don’t forget your binoculars to help with the count!

September 15th Meeting- 6:30 p.m. at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center, 56 Game Farm Rd, Delmar.

The public is welcome to attend our meeting.  We will be conducting a presentation on "Bird Window Collision Prevention", which results in 1 billion birds being killed each year in the United States.  We will explain why this happens and ways you can help prevent this from happening at your home.
