The Audubon Society of Western PA will host a February 27 community meeting to discuss priorities, opportunities and challenges in the Buffalo Creek Watershed in Butler and Armstrong counties.

Audubon and GAI Consultants, Inc. are working with local residents and partners to conduct a 10-year update to the watershed conservation plan. The plan will be used to help prioritize investments and obtain additional funds for projects.

Buffalo Creek watershed is a high-quality watershed and an Audubon-designated Important Bird Area (IBA).

The meeting will be held at the Worthington Community Center, 214 East Main Street, Worthington, Armstrong County starting from 6:30 to 8:00.
