This month’s Aviary programs will be a hoot!

Visit the Klingsberg Aviary during weekends in Owltober to learn all about Pennsylvania owls and the crucial role they play in our local ecosystems. Throughout our programs, we’ll explore the cultural and natural history behind these fascinating birds, and you’ll get to know the owls that call Shaver’s Creek home.

Join us for some fun crafts for the kiddos plus the opportunity to dissect a real-life owl pellet, while supplies last. After that, we’ll explore the aviary. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to get a hands-on look into the life of an owl!

Meet the Creek programs are free and fun for all ages. No registration is required. See you there!
