Collaborations and Outreach
At the Conococheague Institute we are proud to partner with organizations in the area that are in line with our mission to preserve our cultural and natural resources.
You can often find CI doing outreach and partner events and vice versa. Some groups even use CI as a host for some of their own programs.
“SOAR” Bird Walks (“Studying Ornithology Around the Region”) November 5th and 19th
Birding enthusiasts Larry and Sharon Williams lead bird walks along hiking trails at various locations around the region. Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes and may bring identification books and binoculars. Free.
Check their Calendar of Events to find the location for specific dates, or email them at: info@natureandcultureinstitute.org.
Soar will be using CI's grounds and trails on May 7th and 21st, and November 5th and 19th. Walks start at 8am at the Visitor Center and are free to all.

With smaller free educational events making out site accessible and open to all, larger holiday themed events for 4th July, Bonfire Night and Christmas, and a large Fall Fundraiser on September 17th, an event sponsorship can make a huge impact on 1000's of members of the community, while having your business recognised in its support of our Cultural and Natural Resources.
Align your business with engaging, innovative programs and events that encourage a love and appreciation of our History and Natural Environment with families and donors of the Conococheague Institute. Our patrons are a mixture of highly educated, affluent members passionate about preserving our resources for the next generation, and families with young children interested in hands on experiences that will shape their lives and education.
