Our mission is focused on bird observation, bird conservation, bird education (identification, behavior and habitat), and promoting the recording and dissemination of bird observations. Fulfilling our mission through building partnerships and a variety of robust offerings – to include field trips, lectures, programs, scholarships and more – our nearly 90-year history makes us one of the preeminent ornithological organizations in southcentral Pennsylvania. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, our mission is made entirely possible through the generous support of more than 350 dues-paying members and donations from the community.
Lancaster County Bird Club has been dedicated to securing the cultivation of public sentiment in the preservation of Lancaster County’s native bird life since our founding in December of 1937.
