10K Run Walk for the Osprey

Saturday September 6, 2025
9:00 am Start
Registration Coming Soon
Register Online Now

Just like clockwork, ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) depart every fall for warmer climates in the tropics. Help us bid farewell to Lacawac’s resident osprey with our Fall 10K Run/Walk! This scenic course winds through diverse landscapes, supporting habitat conservation efforts. The Lacawac osprey nest, perched high above Heron Pond across from our Education Center, is a seasonal home to these incredible birds before they embark on their journey south.

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.
