Which colorful birds are coming back to our backyards after a winter away, and why is Welch Farm a good place to view a variety of birds? How can we identify our feathered friends by sight and sound, and how can we encourage these creatures to visit and live in our own properties? Come take a casual stroll with a naturalist! Binoculars will be available for participants to borrow. Though we will be focusing on birds during this event, we are open to discussing any naturalist topics you may be interested in.

We’ll meet at the trailhead of Welch Farm Preserve just before 5:00pm on Thursday, April 3rd. See website for exact location.This event is free and open to the public, and registration is not required to attend. Just bring yourself, your water bottle, and your curiosity! The walk will take about an hour and a half and will be on mostly even, level ground. There are some stepping hazards at Welch Farm, like roots or mud in the trail, but there is no elevation gain. We will be back at the trailhead by sunset.

This event is weather-dependent; we will update our website with scheduling changes. Please leave pets at home. Email Skye Cahoon with any questions.
