Fun for the whole family. Bird walks, live birds, bird banding, face painting, naturalist-led walks, bird sculpture carving, scavenger hunts, art projects, and more! Plan to spend a couple of hours or the entire day.
Our newly renovated Education Barn will be open for viewing. There will be a rolling slideshow of the renovation and select images from National Audubon's 2018 Photography Awards show on display.
