Point Au Roche State Park
It's Spring! So we're offering a
lot of opportunities for birding this month. But we recognize that not all bird lovers have the ability to walk
several miles on uneven trails in search of birds. Birding for All! is a chance to learn more
about birds and birding for those who need a less strenuous adventure! This
program will take place at and around the Nature Center. There will be sit-spot birding with benches
available (or bring your own comfy chair!) and the option for a short excursion
on a paved trail. We will have
binoculars for loan but will also set up the spotting scope for hands free
magnification. The Nature Center has
accessible restrooms. All ages and
abilities are welcome! Please note that
ALL our programs are open to EVERYONE.
