Directions to our museum meetings, when they resume:
Directions to Ford Mateer Classroom of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History:
The entrance to the parking lot, which is gated, is just past the Museum at the intersection of Forbes and Craig Street. The Ford-Mateer Classroom is reached through the Portal Entry in the rear parking lot area. Once inside the building, the room is located just beyond the Security desk on the left. In addition to the Museum parking lot, which costs $6, there are metered spaces on Forbes Avenue opposite the Museum and along Craig Street that are free after 6 p.m. From there you will cross the street and walk through the right side of the gates to the parking lot. Continue on the sidewalk to the rear of the building where you will see the sign for “Portal Entry” ahead.
If you do not park in the Museum’s lot, from Forbes Avenue, walk along the right side of the parking toll gates to the parking lot. Continue on the sidewalk to the rear of the building where you will see the sign for "Portal Entry" ahead.

Coming Up:
Saturday, July 13, 1 PM - Fernow Experimental Forest, near Parsons, West Virginia, with Forest Researcher Melissa Thomas Van Gundy.
Sunday, September 15, ANNUAL BSWP PICNIC
Cedar Creek County Park, Westmoreland County
We love our online monthly meetings by Zoom – happy speakers, less traffic, no search for parking. But we sorely miss the face-to-face social time.
Join us Sunday, September 15, 2024. We will gather at Cedar Creek County Park. This park is 45 minutes south of Pittsburgh, and easily accessible via the PA Turnpike, I-70 or PA Route 51.
We have reserved the Park’s Activity Center with a kitchen area and indoor restroom. We can sit inside in case of inclement weather, or outside on a deck overlooking the Youghiogheny River.
We will rotate the ANNUAL PICNIC location each year, with so many great park and picnic spots in the north, east, south and west of the city.
Mark your calendars. More details to come!
