Gardening with Native Plants for Birds:  presented by Master Gardeners Melissa Peterson and Cecelia Lillard, this program provides insider information and tips about using native plants in our gardens and landscapes that are not only attractive but also help sustain our native and migrating bird populations.  This program brought to you by Orange County Audubon.

In 2009, Audubon New York partnered with the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) to launch a American Kestrel recovery effort. This robin-sized falcon can be found throughout the state and are most common in meadows, pastures, and farm fields, but also live in cities and towns. Kestrels are cavity nesters, preferring holes in dead trees rather than building nests, and favor areas surrounded by large open areas with plenty of hunting perches nearby.  This program will discuss ways to help increase their numbers.

Join us for a multi-media bird identification presentation from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.  Intresting bird facts as well as bird calls will be presented.

The Warwick Art League invites the community to a reception to meet the artists who created the plein air scenes of Warwick Gardens on exhibit. These paintings were created in July 2017 as part of the Sesquicentennial Garden Tour. Refreshments will be served.

How can cicadas survive—and thrive—at temperatures pushing 115°F? Do hummingbirds know what they're up against before they migrate over the Gulf of Mexico? Why do some trees stop growing taller even when three months of warm weather remain? With awe and unmatched expertise, Bernd Heinrich's Summer World never stops exploring the beautifully complex interactions of animals and plants with nature, giving extraordinary depth to the relationships between habitat and the warming of the earth.

Ride along with local historian Alan Held as he explores the history of the Lehigh and Hudson River Railway in the towns of Warwick and Chester. Using the software of train simulator "Trainz," Mr. Held has created a replica of the L&H as it would have looked like in the 1930's including track, buildings, and topography. The presentation will include a ride on the virtual route as well as historic photographs, maps, and a demonstration on how the route was made. Rail fans, historians, and the general public are welcome to attend.
