Prior to winding up operations in may 2019, audubon docent guild's staff and volunteer docents led 43 educational and conservation programs for approximately 1,000 participants in 2019, including a winter day camp, scout workshops, nature-themed birthday parties, and pre-school and after-school programs for children, as well as a campfire night, nature tours, and owl prowls for families and community groups. All adg programs were based at the historic log cabin located in the 18-acre sanctuary.
