Audubon Program is full of surprises, updates, education and everything you ever wanted to know about BAS service projects. Tram and Diane Sessions donated 4 acres of land, located on the banks of Shades Creek opposite the Irondale Furnace Park, to the BAS to be maintained as a sanctuary for wildlife. Since taking possession of the property in early 1997, over 60 species of birds have been documented within the sanctuary and the nearby Irondale Furnace.
Beavers ply the waters of Shades Creek.
Red-shouldered Hawks patrol the trees by night and day. Wildflowers bloom along the paths. The project is still a diamond in the rough though, and we need your input and suggestions. Come hear Greg Harber, Sanctuary Committee member, discuss the sanctuary's progress and give us your input as to how we might help Tram and Diane realize their dream. This project of BAS is headed up by Russ Bailey.
