Earth Week Birding Classic – CANCELED

The 5th Annual Earth Week Birding Classic will be held from noon April 17 to noon on April 26, 2020. Registration is free. The goal is for teams in seven different categories to count as many species of birds as possible over a 24-hour period any time during the week beginning on April 17 at 12 noon and ending at 12 noon on April 26. This non-profit event is co-sponsored by the Environmental Studies program at Penn State Altoona and Juniata Valley Audubon Society. Pledges that team members garner will support bird conservation and education in central Pennsylvania. Teams of 3 or more (2 or more for Senior citizens) will count birds in Blair and surrounding counties, and prizes will be awarded during the closing ceremony at the Slep Center on the Penn State Altoona campus immediately following the event at 1 pm. Registration deadline is April 16. To register and for more information, please contact Catie Farr at [email protected].
