The Brooks Bird Club Headquarters (Wheeling) Chapter, Wheeling WV.
The BBC originated in Wheeling and for many years all of the meetings and events were held and planned here in Wheeling, hence the name 'Headquarters'. As it's been the case for many years now, the Brooks Bird Club no longer runs its 'operations' from Wheeling, the BBC 'Entity' (Officers and Board of Trustee members) currently have two business meetings per year at various locations in WV.
Tri-state nature related activities are enjoyed by members and non-members who live anywhere around the Wheeling area!

SEEC ~ Seeking help!
SEEC needs our assistance. Help is also needed to install an overhead projector that was purchased with BCC funds but never installed. Help is also needed with a bird camera that has yet to be purchased. Please contact the acting SEEC Director Ramsey Core [email protected] or 304-242-6855 for further information, and to offer your help. We are always looking for ways to get younger bird & nature enthusiasts interested in joining the club. Let us know if you have any suggestions!
WOTH found on nest along the South Fork of Ten Mile Creek during our Bell Farm outing last spring. Please consider donating a bag of black oil sunflower seeds to the SEEC. Those birds consume a lot of seed.
Local Dues: $10.00 a year for our local Wheeling Chapter. This money will be used to buy bird seed for the SEEC.
