Potomac Valley Audubon Society's Resilience in Shepherdstown
Potomac Valley Audubon Society looks back on year of challenges, success
The Journal | Tuesday, December 16, 2025
In a recent reflection published by The Journal, the Potomac Valley Audubon Society has navigated significant challenges over the past year, particularly due to cuts in the AmeriCorps program impacting vital educational and land management services in towns like Shepherdstown and Charles Town. Despite the funding setbacks, the organization effectively utilized emergency funds to sustain its programming and maintain community support, emphasizing the importance of local donors and volunteers. With the restoration of funding in August and upcoming tax law changes, Executive Director Kristin Alexander urges community members to contribute to ensure the continuation and growth of their educational initiatives and conservation efforts throughout the area.
