Dear Friends of JVAS,
As summer's warmth begins to fade, I hope you've had a chance to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature's splendor. Perhaps you've spotted a few fledglings taking their first flights or marveled at the vibrant blooms in our beautiful Pennsylvania landscape. Aren’t we lucky to live here? Sure, not everyone appreciates the phenology of our ever changing seasons, but if you are reading this, chances are you do. In this short life we live, it is my belief that every day, and every season is a gift to be enjoyed.
As we resume our regular monthly meetings and field trips, I'm excited to share the promise of a new season with all of you! Autumn, winter, and spring will bring fresh opportunities to explore, learn, and make a difference in our community Remember that by participating in field trips and events, you help seal a bond of fellowship with like-minded people who care about our planet and will fight to protect it.
Together, let's:
- Delight in the fall migration's spectacle!
- Discover winter's serene landscapes and secret spots.
- Welcome spring's vibrant renewal and new life.
As per usual, one can expect our field trips, meetings, and conservation efforts will be filled with camaraderie, education, and inspiration. (Not to mention a bit of humor!) I invite you to join us, share your ideas, and help shape our chapter's impact. Without you, there is no Juniata Valley Audubon Society.
As we move forward, expect updates regularly on our Facebook page, including pop-up field trips that may not be mentioned in this newsletter. If you do not use Facebook, check our website for updates!
Here's to a wonderful year ahead, filled with wonder, growth, and a deeper connection to the natural world around us! Please enjoy the newsletter, and thank you for your support.
Warm regards,
Michael Kensinger
President, Juniata Valley Audubon Society
