Avian Education Advisory Committee

The Arboretum’s Avian Education Program was established in 2011 by an endowment from an anonymous donor. Program development and oversight are performed by Dr. Margaret Brittingham, professor emeritus of wildlife resources, with the assistance of an advisory committee. Included on the committee are representatives of Penn State (faculty and students), local birding enthusiasts, and environmental organizations.
