About this Event

**You do not have to show your ticket at the event. This is to note your possible interest, and to help us anticipate how many visitors to expect.

About the event:

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND, we are again partnering with the Audubon Society of Western PA to bring live birds of prey to the bookstore. We have extended the visit from 60 minutes to 90 minutes to allow as many folks as possible time to come see the birds up close. A handler will be on site to answer all your questions about these animals.

In the meantime, over at Tiger Moth Mercantile, we'll be hosting Cedar Bridge Botanicals at the shop for a CARNIVOROUS PLANT POP-UP. We don't regularly stock carnivorous plants because they require specific care and maintenance, so this is your chance to browse unusual plants and take home some real oddities!

About our partner, Audubon Society of Western PA:

We are an environmental education and conservation engagement organization that serves a seven-county region surrounding Pittsburgh. Through our programs, projects, and places we educate and inspire the people of southwestern Pennsylvania to be effective stewards of the natural world and to help create more bird-friendly communities.

Each year, we engage more than 17,000 students–from pre-K through college–in formal, hands-on, natural history programs. We also reach more than 8,000 adults and families through programs that create environmental literacy and excitement for the natural world.

Our projects enable people to participate in meaningful conservation activities and/or help to improve and maintain important habits and resources throughout the region.

Our nature centers and reserves — Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve, Buffalo Creek Nature Park, Succop Nature Park, and Todd Nature Reserve — offer more than 12 miles of trails through more than 500 tranquil acres that provide an oasis for individuals, families, and groups to explore and reconnect with nature at their own pace.

ASWP is a member-supported, legally and fiscally independent, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
