Penobscot Valley Audubon, a chapter of Maine Audubon, offers programs and outdoor experiences throughout the year—both independently and in support of statewide Maine Audubon initiatives. We are a local community of birders, naturalists, and outdoor enthusiasts who believe conservation is most effective when neighbors come together. Our mission is to connect people in the Penobscot Valley with the wildlife and natural places in their own backyards.

Whether it’s a Saturday morning bird walk at one of our many excellent local spots—hoping to see finches or a bobolink—a guided hike on regional trails, or a volunteer workday at Fields Pond, our focus is simple: getting people outside and engaged with nature.

We hope you’ll join Maine Audubon, if not a member and if you are, grab your binoculars and join us on our next outing!

Neighborhood Bird Walks Are Here

Come celebrate the return of warblers, vireos and flycatchers along with our resident woodpeckers, nuthatches and chickadees on Penobscot Valley Audubon’s Neighborhood Bird Walks in May. These free walks are all located in the greater Bangor area, and enjoyable for all levels of birding experience. It’s a great way to get started with birding or to sharpen your skills for spring, even if you’ve been at it for a while.
