Annual Nesting Bird Census

Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary 240 Sunnyside Road, Easton, Pennsylvania

Grab binoculars and join us in counting birds at Mariton. Since 1981, staff and volunteers have conducted an annual nesting bird census to count the number of species and individual birds breeding at this 200-acre preserve. The census results serve as an important tool to help assess habitat management strategies. Healthy habitats sustain various nesting species, including flycatchers, tanagers, thrushes, and warblers. Mariton’s woodlands are particularly important to birds like the Wood Thrush, which requires large forests for nesting.

Fungi Foray with Philly Myco Club

Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary 240 Sunnyside Road, Easton, Pennsylvania

Join Philadelphia Mycology Club’s Kevin Popowich for a Fungi Foray along the trails of Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary to discover and uncover the wonderful world of mycology. Together, we’ll explore the steep slopes of Bougher Hill overlooking the scenic Delaware River and see what mushrooms and other fungi we can find.    What is a foray? Different than foraging, which is the pursuit of only edible species, forays are a survey of the mushroom diversity in an ecological landscape. We will adhere to Natural Lands’ Leave No Trace policy and not remove any mushrooms or other plant material from the preserve.
