The Penobscot Valley Chapter (PVC) offers programs and field trips throughout the year, both independently and in support of Fields Pond Audubon Center. We sponsor an annual financial award for outstanding scholarly research on wildlife and conservation topics at the University of Maine. We advocate and educate on wildlife conservation issues, often in partnership with other national, state, and local environmental organizations that operate within the greater Bangor region.
Maine Audubon members with home zip codes within the PVC region are automatically assigned as chapter members when they join. Maine Audubon members living outside the PVC region, including out-of-state residents, can specifically request chapter affiliation by contacting Maine Audubon’s membership department in Falmouth.
