The Lincoln County Bird Club is an organization of people who enjoy birds and nature and want to learn more about birds and the environment. We have regular field trips of varying lengths and social activities. We also sponsor regular community activities that promote the health of the environment and create public environmental awareness. The annual membership dues are $15.00 per family or $10.00 per single member. Come join the fun!
