The Bibbee
Nature Club is dedicated to the
observation and study of the natural world near our homes in
southeastern
Dr. Paul Cecil Bibbee was a professor of
biology at
Our purpose is to provide our members an
opportunity to enjoy, protect and respect the natural world in which
they and
their families find themselves.
Throughout the year, we offer a variety
of observational and learning experiences; lectures, slide shows,
movies and
(of most importance) field trips.
Our Wild Food Dinner each fall provides
a climax to our year.
Please join us. You are welcome at
any of our events. If you choose, we would
be glad to have you
as a member.
