Members of the Herndon Bird Club and the Bristol Bird Club, together with residents of Shady Valley and the Nature Conservancy, are planning a Foray for the Shady Valley area for June 10-12, 2011. The foray was conceived by Wallace Coffey, President elect of the Bristol Bird Club, partly to commemorate anniversaries of two previous Shady Valley forays. 50 years ago (June, 1961) the Herndon Chapter organized an initial Shady Valley Foray and held similar events for two succeeding years. 35 years ago (1976) the Bristol Bird Club conducted a greatly successful foray in Shady Valley. As planning proceeds, information on the foray schedule, activities, routes to Shady Valley, and information on motels and campgrounds in the area will be made available through Bristol-birds, TN-birds and other appropriate sources.
