Birding 101

Join farmer and naturalist Emma on a birding walk throughout the farm, wetlands, and woods at the George Jones Memorial Farm! Our property is host to many bird species and different environments, in this guided hike participants will learn the basics of birding, including how to listen for, find, and identify the birds around them. Emma will teach participants different ways to find birds, and will point out both migrating and permanent resident birds in our area. This hike is geared towards beginner birders, but more experienced birders are also welcome to join and share their knowledge!

Notes: Participants should bring their own pair of binoculars if they have them. Please come prepared to hike in appropriate layers and footwear. Participants can expect to walk up to 1.5 miles at a birding pace, with many frequent stops. Hikes will continue on as scheduled rain or shine, and will only be canceled for severe weather.

Age Range: Recommended for 12+, but all ages welcome!

Cost: $10. Pre-registration recommended.
