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:Little Explorers: Beavers\, Muskrats\, and More!
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.

The Nature Center building will be open during the event so you can play in the indoor nature play area\, visit the live animals\, or shop in the Blue Heron Gift Shop. Entertainment may move inside during inclement weather. \nPurchase LED light trinkets at the entrance for additional fun (and to help locate children in the dark). Bring cash to make purchasing easier. \nSpecial Information: Please bring a flashlight as a backup in case you need it on dark sections of the trail. Parking lots have lights\, but there will be an un-lit overflow parking lot used on crowded nights. Food and other goods for sale are easiest to purchase with cash\, so please bring cash for small purchases. The Nature Center building will not re-open for Audubon Lights until a half an hour before the event start. \nEnjoy a luminary-lit trail of lights at Audubon Lights on weekends from March 20 through April 4.

SUMMARY:First Friday: All About Hellbenders with Kelly Crandall
DESCRIPTION:First Friday (Adult+)\nAll About Hellbenders with Kelly Crandall \nFriday\, February 6\, 2026\n11:00 a.m. – Noon \n$8 Adults; $6 Nature Center members\n$6 Children 9 – 15 \nReservations appreciated\, walk-ins welcome. \n  \nJoin Kelly Crandall\, a wildlife biologist with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation\, as she shines a light on one of the most cryptic and misunderstood species in New York State\, the Eastern Hellbender. \nHellbenders go by many names\, including Allegheny alligators\, snot otters\, and lasagna lizards. There are just as many questions about Hellbenders as there are names. What’s the difference between a mudpuppy and a hellbender? Are hellbenders venomous? These are some of the questions that Kelly will be answering as she talks about the life history of these salamanders\, their population status in the region and across North America\, and how we can all be better neighbors to our local streams. \nAbout the speaker: Kelly Crandall is a Chautauqua County native. After graduating from Cornell University with a degree in Animal Science in 2018\, Kelly worked as a wildlife technician on a variety of projects\, including Ocelot conservation in Texas\, Burmese Python management in the Florida Everglades\, Wild Turkey research in Missouri\, and Steelhead Creel surveys in Dunkirk for the DEC. Kelly received her Master’s Degree in Forestry from Southern Illinois University where she studied the effects of human development on the movement of mesopredators in the Florida Keys and related that to parasite transmission. Kelly now works for the NYSDEC as a Regional Wildlife Biologist where she focuses on freshwater mussels and rare & endangered species of the Allegheny Watershed. \n  \nSpecial Information: If you’d like to bring a packed lunch\, you can visit attendees and the speaker after the program.
