Learn about local birds and plants from experts Brian Collins and Mark Leach!  Several stops with chances to explore prime bird and pollinator habitats, including open prairies, wetlands, and the bottomland forest.

WHAT TO BRING

We strongly recommend brining snacks, water, and a blanket or cushion to sit on. Feel free to bring binoculars, field guides, bug spray, and/or sunscreen if you like.

WHAT TO WEAR

Dress appropriately for the weather. Layers are always a good idea! Wear sturdy shoes for walking on uneven terrain that may be wet.
