Upcoming Events: winter 2010

Quarterly Lecture Series Schedule
These lectures will be free of charge to the public but due to our limited amount of seating space, admittance will be by reservation only.

Join us on March 18th at 7PM to hear Dava Sobel, former New York Times science reporter discuss her newest book "The Planets". The Planets uses astrology, mythology, science fiction, music, and poetry to link today's scientific exploration of the Solar System with planetary allusions in popular culture.

All lectures will be held at the Avalon Barn located in the
wildflower fields off Shep Jones Lane.

Space is limited so reserve your seats now by calling 689-0619.

Four Harbors Audubon Society
Hosts regular bird walks in Avalon Preserve on the second Saturday of every month. 

We will meet at 8am or *9am at the entrance gate across from the Grist Mill. 

The walks should last about one and a half to two hours. The places to be visited will depend on the season and will include all areas of the Avalon Preserve, the East Farm Preserve, the Stony Brook Estuary and Harbor. Join us and see some of our beautiful native and migratory birds as they feed, breed, and vacation in our beautiful Avalon Preserve.
