As part of our Bird Conservation Initiative, WVWA invites the public to take part in a breeding bird survey on May 30th.  Participants will spend the morning learning about the behavioral characteristics of breeding birds, survey methods, and the importance of avian conservation, all while experiencing the beauty and diversity of the birds of the Wissahickon!

Come watch Hoyt Emmons, member of the American Sheep Industry Association and a certified sheep shearer, as he demonstrates his unique skill. The demonstration will begin at 1:30 pm. On display also will be some small farm animals. This will be a fun and educational event for all ages so be sure to bring your children and grandchildren.

Hosted by Friends of the Wissahickon and the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association, this "town hall" meeting will take place at the Arts Center Theater at Germantown Academy in Fort Washington and is open to the public. The evening will start with light refreshments at 5:30 p.m. followed by the meeting.  A panel of regional experts will address the many issues relating to the Wissahickon watershed and will offer tangible ways for community members to engage in protecting the 64-square mile area. Local organizations and businesses will also be exhibiting before the meeting.

WVWA invites all birders to join the 21st annual Wissahickon Birdathon.  During this friendly, two-day competition, teams canvass the Wissahickon Watershed and strive to identify the greatest number of bird species.  Birders of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to join the fun, bird as much or as little as they choose to and enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow birders.
