public field trips & programs

Saw Mill River Audubon offers a year-round calendar of public programs and field trips.
Our public programs are offered free of charge as part of our environmental education outreach.
Support for Public Field Trips
We do suggest for a donation of $5/adult/trip for our public field trips guided by SMRA staff or volunteers. This donation is entirely voluntary and all are welcome on our trips regardless of donation. Some prefer to offer this donation once a year.
We also offer presentations for libraries and community groups for a small donation. During the COVID pandemic, we are offering Zoom presentations.
