UPCOMING PROGRAMS

Thursday, April 25, 2024
7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Frog Call Count
Join Hunt Hill to learn how to identify different types of frog calls at this citizen science program! After an overview of frog calls, we will go out to a nearby pond to count the number of different types of calls. By the end of this program, you will know how to conduct your own citizen science frog call survey on your own property.

No prior experience needed. Please dress appropriately for the weather and mosquitoes.

Saturday, June 1, 2024
8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Bat Roost Count
Join Hunt Hill in learning about the types of bats that live in the area and ways that citizen scientists can monitor them. Once the sun goes down, we will count the bats that emerge from the bat houses around camp and maybe try some acoustic monitoring.

No prior experience needed. Please dress appropriately for the weather and mosquitoes.

Friday, July 12, 2024
8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Bat Roost Count
The baby bats have taken to the air! Join Hunt Hill in completing a second roost count after the babies have emerged to help get an idea of the bat’s population change over the summer. Participants need not have participated in the previous count to attend.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and mosquitoes.

Saturday, December 14, 2024
Meet at 7:00 am

Christmas Bird Count
Participate in the National Audubon Society’s 125th Christmas Bird Count (CBC)! The count is the longest-running citizen science program in the world and involves volunteers traveling assigned routes to count birds. The Christmas Bird Count is open to all levels of birding experience and ability.
