SUMMARY:On-Water Classroom | Aquatic Invasive Species @ Long Point
DESCRIPTION:Join Everwild staff at Long Point State Park and learn how to identify\, monitor\, survey\, and remove aquatic invasive species (AIS) found in and around Chautauqua Lake. \nChautauqua Lake supports a wide variety of aquatic plants. The lake’s underwater flora includes rare\, threatened species as well as a variety of common plants that provide essential habitat for fish and other animals and aid in maintaining water quality. However\, it also includes several non-native invasive species that can cause challenges for the lake’s ecology\, limit recreational activities\, and impact the local economy. \nTo address this\, Everwild Land Trust runs an AIS Early Detection program each summer. Trained staff and dedicated volunteers monitor the lake\, survey for invasive species\, and remove them when found. Regular on-water classroom sessions are offered to train new volunteers in identifying target species and report sightings through iMapInvasives\, helping us increase awareness and improve coverage throughout the busy summer season.Multiple sessions are planned for the summer. Each session will be hosted at a different location. You are welcome to register for as many sessions as you’d like to learn and assist with AIS monitoring and removal. \nIntended Audience: Adults \nPrice: Free \nRegistration: Registration is required due to the highly weather dependent nature of these surveys. Registration will close the day before each event. \nSpecial Notes:Be sure to check your email prior to the event for any urgent updates.Participants must provide their own kayak or canoe and life jacket.Please bring anything you may need to stay safe and comfortable on the water. We recommend sun screen\, insect repellent\, water shoes\, a bottle of water\, and a snack.

What is soil made of\, anyway? And what else can you find buried in the dirt and mud? Join Audubon to learn more about how soil is made\, explore some different types of rocks\, and maybe find some living things hiding in the dirt. \nAfter an indoor lesson\, be prepared to get a little dirty as you head outside for a short hike to get the scoop on soil\, dig deep into mud\, and see why rocks… well\, rock! \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. \n$12 Adults; $9 Nature Center members$9 Children 3 – 8 \nPaid reservations required by Thursday\, May 7\, 2026 \nRegister today at auduboncnc.org/may-little-explorers

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.
