Check out this fun event from our friends at Big Trees State Park!

Do you ever hear that bird call and wonder, what is that bird? 🐦

(Well, sometimes it's a squirrel, but that's still cool!)

Learn about it at our Bird Walk Thursdays at 9:30 at our Visitor Center! This is an introduction to birding and birds, walking along parts of our North Grove trail, campground, and meadow. First one is next Thursday, the 28th, and on through September. No equipment needed, but binoculars are encouraged. Keep your eyes and ears peeled!
