• Feb. 9 ~ Eagle Watching Weekend with Jacobsburg Env. Ed. Center
  Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, PA...The upper Delaware River is one of the best places in the east to observe wintering Bald Eagles. Join us for these trips as we venture up along the river in the scenic Delaware Water Gap Natiomal Recreation Area from Arrow Island to Milford in search of these magnificent birds. The rare Golden Eagle has also been observed on these trips in the past. Other possibilities along the river include waterfowl such as Common Goldeneyes, Buffleheads and Common Mergansers. This is a great opportunity for photographers. For more information, visit the DCNR event listing.
  
  
• Feb. 9 ~ 7th Annual Blue Mountain Winter Ramble
  Sherwood Drive Appalachian Trail parking area, Middlesex Township, PA...We'll start on the A.T. at Sherwood Drive, then climb Blue Mtn. at an easy pace, continuing on the Darlington Trail for a short distance, then turn around and return. With the leaves off the trees, we'll have spectacular views of the Cumberland Valley and southern Perry County. We'll stop for a snack break at the Darlington Shelter. If snow or ice makes the trip up Blue Mtn. too difficult, we'll choose an easier hike on the A.T. instead. For more information, visit Susquehanna Appalachian Trail Club's Hiking and Activity schedule.
  
  
• Feb. 10 ~ A Decade of Research at the Lehigh Gap Wildlife Refuge
  Lehigh Gap Nature Center, Slatington, PA...Dr. Diane Husic, Chair of Biological Sciences at Moravian College, is a member of the Lehigh Gap Nature Center Board of Directors and serves as our volunteer Director of Research.

• Feb. 12 ~ Wildwood Winter Lecture Series: The First Frontier
  Wildwood Lake Park, Harrisburg, PA...Join Scott Weidensaul, author of the new book The First Frontier, for an exploration of this older, wilder, darker period on Eastern history, when the land between the Atlantic and the Appalachians was contested ground – fought over by people who, despite differences of race, birth and language, considered it theirs, and worth dying for. For more information, visit the Wildwood Park events schedule.
