May and August --- Moth Lighting at Night - Another way to appreciate biodiversity. Setups will be at the Allegheny Front Hawk Watch. This event was highly successful last year, attracting moths and other nocturnal insect. The location and time change allows for different species. Contact Dennis McNair at 255-4088 for exact date, which will depend upon the weather.

May to September: ---Dragonflies, Damselflies and Butterflies of Dunnings Creek Wetlands and Shaffer Mt--- If you wish to accompanying Tom and Sally Dick on these weekly forays please call 814-7545727 to get on the list of people we will call. You will be notified usually a day or two ahead. During most occasions we will also be looking at other species, specifically birds and flowers/

Fall TBA kayaking--- There will be kayak/ canoe trips to local lakes and dams and possibly a river trip. Kayaking is a good way to get close to aquatic nature and many of our kayakers are good naturalists. In the past we’ve inspected old beaver dams, shoreline botany, observed Black-crowned Night Herons and spawning carp, saw large colonies of encrusting bryozoans on submerged logs and many other aspects of nature that only be seen by a canoe or kayak. Contact Jack Julian at 814-467-3552 to get on our kayaking list.
