Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy
Virtual and In-person opportunities
Summary:
Loudoun Wildlife educates by leading people to discover through field trips and programs. Indoor and outdoor events open doors to the world of dragonflies and owls, amphibian night sounds and bird songs in the early morning, great trees and wildflowers. They explore the natural world through citizen science projects, contribute to national databases, and document breeding birds in the area. The LWC's Bluebird and amphibian monitoring activities keep an eye on the health of those species, as does the stream monitoring for area waterways. All this and more happens with the volunteers who drive the organization, with help from a small group of part-time staff. Volunteer participation is vital to the success of all our projects.
