Description
Are you interested in birds and do you enjoy being in nature? Join a park ranger and/or a volunteer for our Tuesday morning birdwalks! The walks start at the Star Fort Pond at 8am and end around 11am. We do a slow-paced 1.5 mile walk around the pond while we listen and look for birds and other wildlife. All levels of birders are welcome, from beginner to expert. We have a limited number of binoculars available to borrow with a photo ID.
Check the park Facebook page for updates/cancellations due to inclement weather.
