EAS offers a variety of hikes and field trips throughout the year for the general public regardless of skill level. We visit a number of birding hotspots in the area and all hikes are free. If you have questions concerning the hikes, you can contact Bob at birderbob68@yahoo.com
​
We also have a special group called Jr. Birders, which is free and open to young birders aged 6-16. The group meets approximately once a month, typically on a Saturday, to visit local nature areas and trails to observe and learn about birds. If you are interested in joining the group, you can contact Hope at hopelee901@gmail.com or text 812-893-2475.

PLEASE NOTE: Evansville Audubon Society requires completion of a liability waiver form for all sponsored events such as field trips and hikes. If you have not yet completed the form, you can do so online here. The waiver needs to be completed annually.
