All you bird watchers out there! (Or even if you're not and want to be outdoors.) Jacobsburg State Park in Bushkill Township, just a few miles outside of Nazareth, has something just for you.
On Saturday, February 28th, 2009, starting at 8AM, the Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center in Bushkill Township is holding its first Bushkill Watershed Winter Bird Count. Anyone interested can volunteer their time to help get a snapshot of birds wintering in the watershed.
Afterwards, all will gather for food, tally the birds and discuss future projects, plus meet fellow volunteers.
This event will kick off the "Friends of Jacobsburg" volunteer program and will also spotlight the Two Rivers Birding and Natural History Trail.
All volunteering should come dressed for the weather, bring lunch, warm beverages and binoculars.
This event is sponsored by the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources/Lehigh Valley Greenways and Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center.
You may register with Rick Wiltraut if interested at rwiltraut@state.pa.us Registration is required.
Sounds like it will be fun if you enjoy nature.
