The ospreys are back! Each spring, these incredible raptors (Pandion haliaetus) return to Lacawac from their tropical wintering grounds—and we’re celebrating their arrival with our Spring 10K Run/Walk! Lace up for a scenic race through Lacawac’s trails and landscapes, all while supporting habitat conservation. Don’t miss the chance to run alongside nature and welcome back our resident osprey, nesting high above Heron Pond near the Education Center.
Proceeds of the run/walk will benefit the upkeep and maintenance of Lacawac’s Browning Beaver Meadow Sanctuary, a former sanctuary of the NEPA Audubon Society.
