TNC welcomes you to join us for a birding walk at Foulweather Bluff Preserve. We will hike approximately 1.5 miles out and back on trail and beach. The varied habitats found on the Foulweather Bluff Preserve support a diverse range of birds: These habitats include forest, marsh and mud flats. Fall migration is in progress which should add to the diversity of birds we can see and hear. Participants will gain an appreciation of how the varying habitat of the preserve supports different types of resident and migratory birdlife. No experience necessary to join. We will have a few binoculars to borrow.

This is a Nature Engagement Leader event! Nature Engagement Leaders are volunteers trained to lead events on behalf of The Nature Conservancy. Your Nature Engagement Leader for this event is Steve!
