About the Pennsylvania Wilds Astronomy Club

The Pennsylvania Wilds Astronomy Club formed in 2022. We are a community partner of the Pennsylvania Wilds Cooperative. We are currently a very small group, and we are looking for new members. Membership is free to people who observe in the the 13 counties compromising the Wilds region. We welcome members of all skill levels and ages.

Our Mission Statement

The Pennsylvania Wilds Astronomy Club provides education and outreach events in astronomy and space science throughout the region–both for our members and the public. These events include observing opportunities, lectures, demonstrations, and more. We value the dark sky assets of the Wilds region, and strive to share these with both our local citizens and those visiting us from afar.
