PGAS Wildlife Habitat Program
About PGAS:
Prince George’s Audubon Society was established in 1972 as a chapter of the National Audubon Society, covering northern Prince George’s County and neighboring parts of western Anne Arundel County.
PGAS partnered with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission in 1981 to clean up and return an illegal dump site to its natural state through the Adopt-A-Refuge program of NAS. The resulting Fran Uhler Natural Area was named for Francis Uhler, the wildlife biologist who donated $25,000 for M-NCPPC to purchase the property. Since that time PGAS has led monthly bird walks at FUNA and conducted an annual clean up.
In 2008 PGAS assisted in establishing the Luther Goldman Birding Trail and its interpretive signs at Lake Artemesia, and has conducted bimonthly walks on the trail ever since.
