SOCIETY
In addition the society runs the Scranton area Christmas
Bird Count, the National Audubon Society Spring Migration Count for Lackawanna
County, and an annual High Bird Count contest during spring migration. We have
adopted Snake Road near Scranton's McDade Park for litter cleanup.
The society manages 2 nature sanctuaries
in the region (Directions
to Sanctuaries). The Davis
Crossing sanctuary is located near Lake Winola, PA, and consists of upland
forest acreage surrounding a large former beaver pond. There is an observation
tower for viewing the former pond area and a number of nature trails through
the forests. The Forest Acres sanctuary is located near the Abington Heights
Middle School, Newton Township, PA, and consists of second growth forest and a
portion of a large pond and marsh complex. The sanctuaries are open to all
society members. Nonmembers should contact society officers for permission to
enter them.
