Birdwatching & Measuring Mussels at the Discovery Center

Last night at the Discovery Center, we had an inspiring evening of community, learning, and sustainability.

Attendees of the sold-out Birds, Mussels, and Networking event connected with familiar faces and met new friends in the green community, all while exploring how our actions impact the environment.

From learning how to identify birds by their flight patterns to discovering how mussels clean our local waterways, the event was packed with engaging activities and fun facts. Guests also got a taste of the amazing programs offered at the Discovery Center, from community science opportunities to hands-on environmental education.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a night of discovery and connection! Want to get involved in future events like this? Sign up for our email list to stay in the loop on upcoming programs, stories, and tips for living sustainably in Philly.
