Join a guided walk through the Shaker Parklands looking and listening for birds. The first walk of each month begins on our ADA-accessible boardwalk and moves to dirt trails throughout the Parklands. The second walk of each month (marked with an asterisk*) is fully accessible and includes an ASL interpreter. For all hikes, meet in the Nature Center parking lot.

Dates in April and May are part of the Audubon Spring Bird Walks. The ending times for these walks vary depending on bird activity and can sometimes last up to 3 hours. Plan on joining for however long you're able to! These walks begin on our ADA-accessible boardwalk and then move to dirt trails throughout the Parklands. People with limited mobility are encouraged to join us for the first portion of the walk. Our fully accessible walks will resume in June. ASL interpretation is available for all Audubon Spring Bird Walks. For all hikes, meet in the Nature Center parking lot. A limited number of binoculars are available to borrow. Rain or shine.

Free. $5 suggested donation. Registration required.
