NOVEMBER MONTHLY MEETING, Thursday, Nov. 4, 6:45 PM: “The Natural History of the Morgan Creek Valley,” Johnny Randall, NC Botanical Garden. The meeting will be virtual using Zoom. We are continuing to hold our meetings via Zoom due to concern over the rapid spread of the COVID-19 delta variant. You must register for this meeting in advance. Watch this space for registration information.
We record each of our virtual meetings, so if you miss one, you may watch it at your leisure. There are links to each of these recordings on this page.
BIRD SEED SALE: Each fall, New Hope Audubon holds a Bird Seed Sale for fund-raising. The ordering deadline has passed. You may pick up your order at the Wild Bird Center, Eastgate Shopping Center, Chapel Hill, on Saturday, November 6, 2021, between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Click here for more information.
BIRD OUTINGS: Walks usually last 2-3 hours. No reservations or sign-up needed. If there is a large turnout for any particular walk, we may split into two groups. Attendees must be vaccinated; 12 years old or younger must be masked. We also ask that everyone use social distancing. We will meet directly at the walk site (not Eastgate or Oak Creek Village as in the past). For details on each outing, see the Events List on this page.
