Each year in the spring, PVFA sponsors a presentation about birds of prey at the Arcadia Nature Nursery School.  Tom Ricardi brings in owls, hawks, vultures, eagles, and other raptors and teaches the children about their anatomy, natural history, and his efforts to rehabilitate injured birds. 







PVFA  donates practice space and coaching to the Northampton High School fencing team during their competitive season.
