Mission: The mission of the East Quabbin Bird Club is to foster a greater local understanding of the area's ecological resources through the active participation of the community's citizens. The intention of this club is to create a central base where people can come together to learn about the region's ecology, share ideas, and work together to support mutual goals of conservation. An environment of learning and conservation will be pursued through such avenues as monthly birding trips, educational workshops, lectures, club-coordinated bird surveys, the compilation of member's field records, and volunteer workdays on habitat improvement projects. The East Quabbin Bird Club is not strictly focused upon birds and birding, but is concerned with the conservation and understanding of the greater biodiversity of the East Quabbin Region. The East Quabbin Bird Club is very closely associated with the East Quabbin Land Trust.  All events are free and open to the public. For more information please email dryoptera@yahoo.com. This trip has been POSTPONED until after the New Year - Please check back soon for the new date... 2011-12-17: PINE ISLAND, Hardwick - Meet at Hardwick Common at 8:00AM. We will then carpool for the mile trip to Pine Island and spend approximately two hours walking the marsh edge, wet meadows and reclaimed pastures of Pine Island. This is a key local hot spot for sparrows, and other seasonal targets such as northern shrike and northern harrier are a good bet. Membership:
