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.
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!

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
Join ASWP, River to Land Stewards, and Three Rivers Waterkeeper, this Thursday, October 8, from 5pm to dusk, for a unique birding experience. We will meet at James Sharp Landing in Sharpsburg and boat out to the soon to be reopened Six Mile Island. We will learn about the multi-year project to clean up and restore the habitat of the island, while exploring what birds might use it year round and during migration. Bring your own binoculars, or loaner binoculars will be provided. Registration is required, as there is a limited number of spots left in registration.

Northern Cardinal October 1, 2026 Did you know that Northern Cardinals start with a black beak? This one is likely 12 to 20 days old, as it was moving around but still actively begging for food from its parent. Young can be fed up to 56 days after leaving the nest. What species are you still seeing being fed in your area? ℹ️Birds of the World
