SUMMARY:Trail Guide Training
DESCRIPTION:Trail Guide Training (Adult Volunteers) \nTuesday\, April 28 and Wednesday\, April 29\, 2026\n9:00 – 11:30 a.m. \nFree \nReservations appreciated\, walk-ins welcome. \nAre you interested in sharing your love of the natural world with others? You may be a great addition to ACNC’s Trail Guide crew! \nTrail Guide volunteers are integral to educational programming at Audubon. These volunteers lead small groups of students on Discovery Walks using age-appropriate and exploration-based activities. This two-day training provides new and returning Trail Guide volunteers with the skills to effectively achieve the goal of a Discovery Walk\, which is to inspire and nurture curiosity about the natural world. Information and skills learned in this training may be useful in other volunteer positions at Audubon. \nTrail Guides lead school groups along Audubon trails during their school field trips. The students’ ages range from 4 to 12\, and group size is typically 8 – 12 students. In this training\, you’ll learn some exploration activities\, pick up tips for group management\, and go through the basic outline of how to effectively walk the children through the discovery process as they move along the trails. After this training\, you will have opportunities to observe walks and apply some of the learned skills in preparation to lead groups on your own. \nThis training is required for new Trail Guide volunteers. Established Trail Guides are welcome to come as a refresher course. If you have any questions\, please contact Chelsea Jandreau at (716) 569-2345\, or cjandreau@auduboncnc.org. \nSpecial Information: No prior knowledge is necessary to lead groups\, just a positive attitude and a willingness to share your passion for nature. \nCurrent and prospective ACNC volunteers can attend Trail Guide training from 9:00 – 11:30 a.m. on April 28 and 29 to learn how to lead students on a Discovery Walk on Audubon’s trails.

SUMMARY:Birdathon @ Audubon Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Birdathon (Adult+)\nAuduboncnc.org/birdathon-2026 \nSaturday\, April 25 – Sunday\, May 3\, 2026 \nForm a team or donate to a team.\nBirders are needed to form teams.   \nThere so are many great reasons to spend time outside looking for birds\, especially during the spring migration season. ACNC’s annual Birdathon is a staff favorite because it combines birding with raising money for a cause! Each year\, teams of birders raise money to fund the Ryan Exline Memorial Scholarship and to provide ongoing care and habitat improvements for Audubon’s Animal Ambassadors. \nThe Ryan Exline Memorial Scholarship awards a $500 scholarship to a student pursuing a degree in an environmental-related field. Additional money raised beyond the scholarship funds will help cover annual expenses including visits to the vet\, food\, and other necessary items to keep Audubon’s animals healthy. These expenses include approximately $6\,500 annually. This year’s goal is to raise $2\,000 to fund this year’s scholarship and to offset some of the animal care expenses. \nYou can help in a variety of ways! \n\nFind a birding buddy and sign up as a team where people can pledge online to support your birding efforts. Birders can bird for 24 hours total from April 25 – May 3\, 2026. It’s up to you whether you bird for 24 hours straight or a few hours every day. At least 60% of the team must be present to count.\n\nFor more information on how to join ACNC’s staff birding team\, contact Aaron Sidder at asidder@auduboncnc.org.\nFor assistance creating your team’s webpage\, contact Jess Piskor at: jpiskor@auduboncnc.org.\n\n\nJoin ACNC’s kickoff to Birdathon at Breakfast with the Birds on Saturday\, April 25. Audubon staff and volunteers will make a delicious pancake breakfast to go with a short presentation\, birding at the birdfeeders\, and a short walk if weather permits.\nIf you aren’t a birder\, visit the website and support your favorite team. Donors can contribute based on the number of birds seen\, or by making a flat contribution towards the cause.\n\nSpecial Information: Birders agree to abide by the terms of the Birdathon. Birders must bird with 60% of their team at all times. Teams cannot bird for more than 24 hours between April 25 and May 3. This time can be split up in any way between those dates. To be eligible for awards\, a team must consist of two people\, though teams of one are accepted. \nSupport Audubon Community Nature Center’s Birdathon\, April 25 through May 3\, by joining or forming a birding team or by donating.

SUMMARY:Square Foot Gardening Class
DESCRIPTION:As in New York State\, a Pennsylvania State Master Gardener is a trained volunteer who shares gardening knowledge with the public through community outreach. \nWhen Jamestown resident David Winner was training to become a Penn State Master Gardener\, he was required to participate in a minimum of 40 hours in the classroom\, score 80 percent on the midterm and final exam\, and fulfill 50 hours of volunteer service. \nWinner still loves to garden and has become especially interested in encouraging new gardeners and those who don’t think they have enough space. \nSaturday\, April 18\, 1–3 p.m.\, Winner is offering a class in “Square Foot Gardening\,” an intensive\, high-yield gardening method that maximizes space\, reduces weeding\, and uses less water compared to traditional row gardening. It is ideal for small spaces\, beginners\, and optimizing produce per square foot. \nThe presentation will be at the Unitarian church\, 1255 Prendergast Avenue\, Jamestown\, where parking is behind the building. With a $10 fee\, it will include visuals to demonstrate how to set up a square foot garden and refreshments. \n“I really want folks to reap the benefits of growing their own fresh vegetables in a small space\,” says Winner\, who has worked countless hours as a master gardener teaching square foot gardening. \nNow retired from seven years of participating with his wife in the Jamestown Farmers Market\, he said\, “We sold Barbara’s special teas for five of those years. We were also known for our homegrown garlic and humorous homemade garden signs\, like ‘Trespassers will be composted.’” \nBarbara will also be part of the class\, showing the importance of weeds that grow in our yards. \nAnyone is welcome. Preregistration is not required. For more information\, call (716) 665-4605. \nProceeds from the class will benefit the church.

DESCRIPTION:Little Explorers (Children 3 – 8 with an adult)\nBeavers\, Muskrats\, and More! \nSaturday\, April 11\, 2026\n10:00 – 11:30 a.m. \n$12 Adults; $9 Nature Center members\n$9 Children 3 – 8 \nPaid reservations required by Thursday\, April 9\, 2026. \nLittle Explorers ages 3- 8 and their adults can join Audubon to learn more about the mammals that rely on ponds and their connecting waterways. \nSpend some time exploring these wetland spaces and you might see signs of beavers building dams\, otters catching food\, and muskrats swimming between the edge of the pond and their temporary lodges. These ponds and streams are important habitats for many aquatic mammals. \nAfter a short hands-on lesson indoors exploring the behaviors\, diets\, and habits of western NY’s wetland mammals\, head outside to search along the pond edges and look for beaver chews\, otter tracks\, and muskrat slides. \nA snack is provided after the hike and a craft is offered if there is time. \nSpecial Information: This program takes place rain or shine\, please dress for the weather. \nClues like beaver chews on trees and logs are an important sign that beavers are in the area\, even if the animal itself is hiding. Learn more about beavers and other wetland mammals at ACNC’s Little Explorers on April 11.

SUMMARY:Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Survey - RTPI and JCC
DESCRIPTION:You Can Help Save Native Trees! \n\nEvery winter\, we conduct Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) surveys across the region. You can help survey hemlock trees at the Cassadaga Lakes Nature Park preserve on February 21\, or Roger Tory Peterson Institute and SUNY JCC on March 7 for the invasive Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.\nTo volunteer\, please visit chautauquawatershed.org/events and RSVP for either survey.\nHWA is most visible in winter. In the coldest months\, the aphids go dormant and form cotton-like protective balls at the bases of hemlock needles\, making it easy to observe and diagnose. This dormant period also makes it much less likely for surveyors to accidentally spread HWA from tree to tree by physically touching multiple hemlocks in an area during a survey.\n\nBy surveying local hemlock trees and reporting any HWA we observe on them\, we can help with the implementation of targeted treatment plans to manage the infestations and prevent further spread.

SUMMARY:Water Safety Series - DNA of a River
DESCRIPTION:Our waterways are always changing. This workshop will focus on what makes up our local creeks and river\, how water reacts to those things\, and how to decipher and recognize the safest path. \nThe off-season is a great time to learn more about water safety. Utilizing our “river in a bag\,” we’ll have a hands-on discussion covering how water reacts to river features (downstream and upstream V\, eddy\, eddy lines\, hydraulics\, holes\, seams and standing waves\, etc); and hazards – both natural (sweepers\, deadheads\, strainers)\, and man-made (bridges\, low-head dams\, dredged areas). We’ll focus on how these affect the paddling experience and how they change at different water levels. We’ll reference these features and hazards with photos and videos from local waterways including the Allegheny River\, Clarion River\, Brokenstraw Creek\, and Conewango Creek. \nPlease note – this is a classroom workshop. We will not be on the water. Limited seats available. Reservations required. Please click on “tickets” or visit: https://www.alleghenyoutfitters.com/winter-2026-workshops

SUMMARY:Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Survey - Cassadaga Lakes Nature Park
DESCRIPTION:You Can Help Save Native Trees! \n\nEvery winter\, we conduct Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) surveys across the region. You can help survey hemlock trees at the Cassadaga Lakes Nature Park preserve on February 21\, or Roger Tory Peterson Institute and SUNY JCC on March 7 for the invasive Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.\nTo volunteer\, please visit chautauquawatershed.org/events and RSVP for either survey.\nHWA is most visible in winter. In the coldest months\, the aphids go dormant and form cotton-like protective balls at the bases of hemlock needles\, making it easy to observe and diagnose. This dormant period also makes it much less likely for surveyors to accidentally spread HWA from tree to tree by physically touching multiple hemlocks in an area during a survey.\n\nBy surveying local hemlock trees and reporting any HWA we observe on them\, we can help with the implementation of targeted treatment plans to manage the infestations and prevent further spread.

SUMMARY:Little Explorers: Tracks & Traces
DESCRIPTION:Little Explorers (Children 3 – 8 with an adult)\nTracks and Traces \nSaturday\, February 14\, 2026\n10:00 – 11:30 a.m. \n$12 Adults; $9 Nature Center members\n$9 Children 3 – 8 \nPaid reservations required by Thursday\, February 12\, 2026. \nChildren 3 – 8 with their adults are invited to use their detective skills to look for signs of animals\, and explore different ways to discover who has been hanging around Audubon this winter. \nSometimes it can be tricky to spot animals out in nature. Luckily\, animals leave clues behind so you can determine which critters have been out and about. \nAfter a short lesson and an introduction to some helpful tools to aid in your search\, it is time to bundle up and head outside where you can follow animal tracks\, look for holes in the ground and in the trees\, and see if you can find the leftovers of an animal’s lunch. \nA snack is provided after the hike and a craft is offered if there is time. \nSpecial Information: This program takes place rain or shine\, please dress for the weather.
