Welcome to the Tiadaghton Audubon Society web site. We hope you will find this web site to be useful and interesting. Our chapter was founded in 1906 with 23 members, making it the oldest chapter in the state. The Tiadaghton name was selected in 1953, and in 1972 the chapter was officially chartered. We welcome your comments or suggestions. Please feel free to contact us here by email, or if you prefer, our mailing address is Tiadaghton Audubon Society, PO Box 605, Wellsboro Pa, 16901.

Our 17-March meeting will feature a presentation on wild mushrooms by Bill Russel, author of "Field Guide to the Wild Mushrooms of Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic" published by Penn State University Press. Bill Russel is a physicist with a life-long interest in wild mushrooms. His interest began when his father bought him a mushroom identification book when he was just old enough to read. Since then, he has accumulated considerable knowledge of the mushrooms that appear in our lawns, gardens and the forests around us. An important part of his interest is studying edible and poisonous fungi. He has eaten nearly 200 different wild mushroom species - perhaps more than any other authority in the country. He offers walks, talks and workshops in Pennsylvania and the surrounding states. Through these presentations, numerous people have learned to identify and use many wild mushrooms.

Please join us for this informative presentation on March 17 at 7:30 PM at the Gmeiner Art and Cultural Center at 134 Main Street next to the Green Free Library in Wellsboro. There will also be a business meeting at 6:30. Anyone who wishes to attend would be more than welcome.
