Join Us for the 47th Annual Squirrel Count in October!

Many of you are now making plans for fall! Love our white squirrels? Here’s your chance to help protect them!
On October 4, 11, & 18, volunteers will take a fall stroll through Olney, helping us track the health and population of our famous white squirrels.

What You’ll Do:
✅ Walk a designated route in town
✅ Use a provided map & legend to mark your sightings
✅ Turn in your results at the City Park
✅ Enjoy complimentary refreshments (and maybe a photo with our Albie the White Squirrel mascot!)

It’s a fun, relaxing way to enjoy a crisp fall morning, meet other squirrel lovers, and help our community’s furry treasures.
