Green Lakes State Park
"Let's Go Birding Together" is an initiative
that creates inclusive and welcoming birding experiences for the LGBTQ+
community, their allies, and families. It's more than just bird
walks; it's about connecting with nature, birds, and others in a positive
way. This walk is open to all who love birding and all birding abilities.
Join Kennedy, one of our stewardship team members who loves birding, to bird
along some of our trials through old growth forests. Meet at the Reserve Shelter
Parking Lot.

between 1-3pm to look at some of the tiny lifeforms from Green Lake under a
microscope and learn more about the unusual life found in the lake.

this walk is all about! Join an environmental educator as we explore along one

1 to 1.5 miles. Wear sneakers or other good walking shoes, bring a water
bottle, and consider wearing bug spray. Meet at the Environmental Education
