Join us for this unique opportunity at Rushton Woods Preserve!
"Teaching children and adults the value of conservation, the importance of preserving open space, and the value and use of scientific research skills are the passions that we strive to share with all of the participants that visit our bird banding station."
The banding observation begins as early as 7:30 AM but we would like to be able to meet as a group from 9 AM to 10:30 AM.
The normal capacity is about 20-25 people, and all ages including children are permitted. This is a special private booking with just WBU staff, customers and their guests. Let's get a great group of volunteers together for this wonderful experience!
Please email us at
