About us
This Meetup Group is a portal to Burroughs Audubon Nature Club (BANC), which has been connecting Rochester to nature since 1913. We host field trips, pot lucks, nature walks, and nature talks all across the Rochester area but mostly at our wildlife sanctuary and clubhouse located on the border of Pittsford and Victor, NY.
BANC's mission has long been to promote deep understanding and appreciation of the natural sciences and to take loving care of BANC's quiet and ecologically important sanctuary and preserve. We welcome anyone and everyone who loves nature (or might yet).
To enjoy our trails and our events for free, we encourage you to become a BANC member in addition to being a Meetup member. Membership ranges from $5-$75 per calendar year.
To become a BANC member go to www.bancny.org and click the Join or Renew button.
Your membership supports our conservation work, trail maintenance, and educational activities. It also gets you a discount at The Bird House. BANC is an all-volunteer organization.
We look forward to meeting YOU!

Creatures of the Night
Burroughs Audubon Nature Club (BANC Sanctuary), 301 Railroad Mills Rd, Victor, NY 14564 Railroad Mills Rd, Victor, NY, USJoin long-time members and retired biologists Martha Zettel and Bill O’Neill for a casual evening on the porch, learning about the insects and bats that inhabit the late summer nights at BANC. We will have lots of examples to look at, as well as bat detectors and sound analysis software. If folks are motivated, we can set up a moth light and/or take a night walk down into the wetlands, but if you are happy sitting on the porch eating cookies and listening to the sounds change as darkness arrives, that is good too.
Bring a small flashlight, wear closed shoes, and be prepared for mosquitoes and ticks. PLEASE NOTE: bats do not fly in the rain, and bat detectors are not waterproof, so if it is rainy at all, we will use the rain date.
Registration is required so that we can notify you if we are postponing the event to the rain date.
