About us
The Valley Forge Audubon Society (VFAS) is a chapter of the National Audubon Society serving those residing in Southeastern Pennsylvania, including Delaware and Chester Counties, and parts of Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties. Our mission is to preserve birds, other wildlife, and their habitats by promoting appreciation and stewardship of the local natural environment through education and active participation. VFAS offers regular bird walks, hikes, events, and educational programs. Valley Forge Audubon Society is committed to inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in the birding community and beyond. We are excited to bring the joys of birding – the fun of seeing or hearing birds, the social benefits of being part of a like-minded community, and the health and wellness benefits humans receive from spending time in nature – to “everyone and every body”, regardless of someone’s physical, mental, emotional, or societal challenges. Long-time birders, ‘fledgling’ birders, able-bodied birders, and those with disabilities and health concerns are all welcome at VFAS’s programs.
We offer a number of outings that are accessible for those with various access challenges and/or health concerns.

Presentation: Bird Safe Windows
Lower Providence Community Library, 50 Parklane Dr, Eagleville, PA 19403, USA, Eagleville, PA, USBird collisions with glass are one of the leading human-related causes of bird loss today. It is estimated that around a billion birds are killed annually in the US when they fly into windows that they cannot see. Most collisions occur on the bottom 3 floors of buildings. To be part of the solution, Valley Forge Audubon Society and Bird Safe Philly are partnering with the Lower Providence Community Library to help protect birds by educating the public on ways to prevent collisions between birds and glass.
Join us for a discussion of this important topic on Saturday, November 14th at 2:00 pm at the Lower Providence Community Library, 50 Parklane Drive, Eagleville PA. To register, call 610-666-6640 ex 0 or register at https://lowerprovidencelibrary.org/register-for-programs/
