We will meet in the BCNP parking lot.
Leader: Tom Moser, mosertd@gmail.com, 412-478-5513
Directions: Address is 154 Monroe Road, Sarver, PA. From Route 28, take PA-356 North for 0.9 miles. Turn right onto Monroe Road and follow for 0.8 miles. The road will wind around as you make your way down a hill. BCNP will be on your left at the bottom of the hill. Todd Nature reserve is 2 miles further up the hill at 367 Kepple Road, Sarver, PA.
Description: Depending on the number of attendees, we will first car pool 2 miles to the Todd Nature Reserve for an Audubon naturalist-led “Birds and More” walk on trails through ravines, forests and reverting meadows with streams and a pond. We will then return to the Nature Park for a level walk along Little Buffalo Creek via the Butler-Freeport trail. Buffalo Creek Valley is listed as Important Bird Area # 22. Last year in late May we identified 45 species. The Park facilities feature the Babcock Nature Center, an Audubon Nature Store, concessions and modern restrooms. You can bring a bagged lunch for socializing after the walks in the adjacent picnic pavilion.
