Binghamton University Audubon Society

This Chapter of the Audubon Society, or the Bird Club, hosts bird walks in the Nature Preserve on campus on Saturday mornings and even some evenings! We organize trips off campus, such as to Montezuma Wildlife Refuge or the Cornell Lab of Ornithology! Everyone is encouraged to join as our group is happy to share knowledge and binoculars with experienced birders or anyone who wants to learn!

Binghamton University Bees

We are a student-run organization that focuses on outreach and education on our pollinators! We bee-lieve that pollinators are an essential aspect of our environment and we maintain a honey bee hive on campus, build bee boxes for native pollinators, and maintain the campus as a Bee Campus USA. We usually meet biweekly with a handful of hive visits each semester, weather permitting :)

Citizen's Climate Lobby

Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) is an organization that empowers students to lobby elected officials for environmental legislation. At Binghamton, we have held lobby meetings with the offices of Representative Claudia Tenney and Senator Chuck Schumer in addition to holding climate events on campus. At meetings, students learn how to lobby politicians and work on new initiatives to become active in climate legislation.

Evolution Club

We believe evolution applies to all aspects of life, not just genetics or Darwinism, which is why our meetings are based around all sorts of topics. We’ve had collabs with other clubs such as Cheese Club, Zero Hour, and IDEAS. At our invasive species event, people picked Autumn Olive berries in the Nature Preserve while learning about its history, then each member was able to take home a jar of fresh jam.
