There’s always something happening at Audubon

We offer programs and events for people of all ages. Connect with nature!

Shop the Nature Store

Stop in and we’ll help you to pick the right bird-feeding set up for your backyard including feeders that deter squirrels, suet cakes that make woodpeckers happy, and our very own Beechwood Blend Birdseed, formulated for the birds in our area.

View store location and hours.

Tree and Shrub Sale

Fall is a great time for planting! During the month of October, take advantage of an extra 15% discount on all native trees and shrubs at the Nature Store.

That’s a total of 25% off for members and 15% off for nonmembers.

Planting in the fall helps establish a strong root system so plants are ready to flower, fruit, and grow come spring!

Holiday Eco-Markets

Shop gifts for all ages while supporting local artists! Different vendors will be available each day. This event takes place at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve on Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22 from 10am-4pm.

Let’s be social

🦆🦆 Don’t miss your chance to get nerdy about ducks, geese, and swans while exploring Southwestern PA hotspots! This four-week series combines classroom instruction with guided field experiences during both fall and late winter migration periods. Participants will investigate waterfowl identification, molt, migration, breeding behavior, habitat preferences, vocalizations, and other aspects of their natural history while observing a wide variety of species in the field. Whether studying distant flocks or close-up behavior, participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to better understand and appreciate these remarkable birds.
