Programs for Your Group or Organization

Valley Forge Audubon Society has a number of presentations that can be made virtually or in-person.  Presentations are 45-60 minutes unless otherwise noted with time for questions.  Because all of our program developers and presenters are volunteers, a donation to Valley Forge Audubon Society is suggested.
