          The Bibbee Nature Club is dedicated to the observation and study of the natural world near our homes in southeastern West Virginia.

        Dr. Paul Cecil Bibbee was a professor of biology at Concord College in Athens, West Virginia.  Always devoted to the study of nature, he was a photographer, taxidermist and ornithologist. His 1947 thesis on the Bewick’s Wren earned him a Ph.D. and serves as our inspiration today.

        Our purpose is to provide our members an opportunity to enjoy, protect and respect the natural world in which they and their families find themselves.

        Throughout the year, we offer a variety of observational and learning experiences; lectures, slide shows, movies and (of most importance) field trips.

        Our Wild Food Dinner each fall provides a climax to our year.

        Please join us.  You are welcome at any of our events.  If you choose, we would be glad to have you as a member.
