On February 22, 1952, a small group of people who had
a great deal of curiosity about the natural world, especially birds,
met in Scottsbluff. This was the first meeting of the Nature Lovers'
Club. Winter meetings were held in homes of members and
programs were given by members or special guests about any phase of
nature or conservation. In summer, marvelous breakfasts were
fixed in someone's yard or in a park and the members would then go
on a field trip.
By 1957 the name was changed to Nature Club and winter
meetings were held in a public meeting room. The location of
that meeting room has changed many times over the years. In
1978 the club decided to expand its interests and, on June 1, 1978,
a provisional charter from the National Audubon Society was received
by the Wildcat Audubon Society.
Since that time the Wildcat Audubon Society has had
many accomplishments which are listed on the About Us
page. Our general meetings are now held in a meeting room at the
Regional West Medical Center and are open to the public. We have
programs on a variety of subjects and we invite anyone interested in
birds or wildlife to attend.
We have field trips through out the year and encourage
beginners to come with us and learn about birds.
We appreciate anyone with an interesting bird sighting
to contact one of the field trip
committee members to report it. If you can't identify a bird we
will be glad to try and help.
